Tottenham star Dele Alli believes that his side are close to winning major honours.

Since taking over Spurs in 2014, Mauricio Pochettino has been widely praised for turning the club into genuine title contenders. However, the north London club have not won a major trophy since they lifted the League Cup in 2008.

But Alli reckons Spurs are heading in "the right direction".

"I hope we are not too far off," the England international said.

"We've got a great team here and we've got an unbelievable manager. We're definitely heading in the right direction."It's not up to me what we need to do to make the next step but as players all we can do is work hard every day, make sure we're ready and give our all for the team."

"I think you can see the way we are playing, we are playing well and playing great football," he added. "Mentally we are strong, physically we are strong and the manager has got us all working together

"I think you can see from where the club is going we are heading in the right direction and we've got to make sure it keeps going like that.

"We don't want to stand still and say this is our level. We've got to keep trying to achieve more, do better and improve every season. I think we're doing that so far."
