Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho says it is only a matter of time before they're back in the top six.

The Portuguese took the reins with Spurs languishing down in 14th but has overseen a remarkable turnaround to haul the north Londoners into seventh.

"We know where we belong," the Tottenham manager said. “Of course we don't belong to the second part of the table, where we were. We don't even belong to positions seven or eight, where we are now.

“And we believe that by the end of the season, we are going to be there.

“If you can accelerate that process and get there sooner rather than later by getting the results, that is the best thing that could happen to us.

"But we need a bit of time to improve in many things. And we are going to improve, because we have the talent to improve and we have the desire to improve."
