Tottenham keeper Hugo Lloris says it is 'only a matter of time' before his side are challenging for football's top honours, reports Sky Sports.

With a young squad impressing many observers, Spurs captain Lloris believes good times lie ahead for the club.

"We have to push ourselves together. Spirit is so important in football because it is a collective sport," the Frenchman told his club's official website.

"The team is young but we are nearly at the level to be ready to compete. It is just a matter of time but, with this mentality and this atmosphere, things are improving quicker than normal.

"We always want to improve and to develop our mentality to become a winning team. The road is still long but we feel we are improving all together and we are starting to be very hungry for the next few months and next few years."
