Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall has given fans an insight into the club's lofty ambitions for the upcoming season.
The highly-rated Sweden international, who is regarded by many as of Europe's top prospects, turned down Spanish giants Barcelona to join Ange Postecoglou's side.
Having made the £8.5 million switch from Allsvenskan side Djurgarden after an agreement was struck in February, the 18-year-old will be hoping to make a real impression in his debut campaign.

In fact, Bergvall has already made a promising start, providing an assist for another wonderkid, Mikey Moore, in their 5-1 friendly win over Scottish Premiership side Hearts.
After being handed the No.15 shirt for the upcoming Premier League campaign, a confident Bergvall has opened up on both his, and the club's, ambitions for this season.
Speaking to Hayters, he said: "My aim is to make my Premier League debut. I want to come into the team and win something. We want to qualify for the Champions League, and the goal is to win the league."
Here's how fans on social media reacted to Bergvall's latest interview.

One said: "This is the mentality that will take us to the top," while another commented: "At least we’ve heard a player say we want to win the title."
A third wrote: "He does realise he's signed for Spurs, right?"
A fourth said: "You can tell he’s new here," and a fifth added: "All our players are really hungry to win trophies."
As mentioned earlier, a five-year deal to sign Bergvall was agreed in February after his performance for Swedish side Djurgarden caught the eye of many clubs across Europe.

"He's a very talented young man," Postecoglou said after the signing was confirmed. "He's already had a really positive start to his career and we feel like this club will be good for him and he will be good for us."
Speaking last month, the Spurs boss was full of praise for Bergvall. "He’s come in and he’s looked really good in training," he said. "I’m pleased to have him as part of the group.”
The North London side will face Leicester City in their Premier League opener on August 19.
