Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp wants to be challenging for the top four next season.

Aston Villa have threatened to break into the Champions League places during the current campaign, although they could be in fifth place by the time they kick-off against Spurs at Villa Park on Sunday.

Spurs have picked up 30 points from 20 games since Redknapp's arrival in October - and he feels they should be aiming high once safety has been secured.

"For us be where Villa are? Hopefully next year," Redknapp said.

"I would like to be, if you are not looking that way then what are you aiming for? No good saying 'I hope we finish in the top half next year'. We have to hope for better.

"The size of this club, the potential, the fan base and the money invested, we should be pushing to get up there shouldn't we?

"On our day, we are capable of giving anyone a game - we've got good players here and the club has invested heavily in the transfer window in the last few years."
