Michael Dawson says Tottenham have plenty to look forward to after the second-half of last season.

"Missing the last five games of the season wasn't nice," the defender told the Spurs website.

"It's boring being injured - even though you probably end up working harder than when you're fit!

"But it was a frustrating time. I hadn't played for a while but then got the chance against Newcastle and did my ankle.

"But I'm not going to dwell on it and I'm not the type of person to get myself down about things, especially when the team has done so well."
