Tottenham Hotspur should compete for Europa title

Tottenham
For a club of Tottenham Hotspur stature, they should be aiming to win the Europa League, manager Mauricio Pochettino said after the team's 3-1 victory against Azerbaijani champions Qarabag on Thursday.

Pochettino's side were knocked out of the Europa League by Italian club Fiorentina in the round of 32 last season but the Argentine appeared confident that they can do much better this term.

"As a big club we have to try to arrive in the final and win the Europa League," he added.

Pochettino hailed the impact of summer recruit Heung-Min Son, who scored a brace on Thursday, and said his versatility would give a different dimension to their attack.

"He scored twice and played one hour. His performance - you can see I am very pleased with him, very happy. His adaptation to the club has been good from the beginning," the former Southampton manager said of Son.

"He can also play wider. He has the quality to play in different positions on the pitch," he added.

"In pre-season Alli started to show that he can play like an experienced player. He showed personality and quality. He is a player who can play in the first team," Pochettino said.
