Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has made no secret of his desire to improve his team.

Spurs again failed on the European stage last night when dumped from the Europa League by Belgian club Gent at the Round of 32 stage.

While they may be sitting third on the Premier League table, Spurs still have to take the next level in terms of their overall performances according to Pochettino.

"It is time for the club and players to improve," he said.

"It is important for the club to always play European competition, but, for us, it is good to assess the squad and try to improve every season.

"We are disappointed, but it is good for us to analyse to try to change a few things to improve next season and be a better team."
