Tottenham star Eric Lamela has revealed that he is desperate to play in Champions League with Spurs.

The North London club are only three points behind the top four and the Argentine is confident Spurs are capable of securing the chance to play European football next season.

"I've had a great desire to play in the Champions League, ever since I got here," he told the Evening Standard.

"This year we are closer than in other years. At certain times you can see we are a team who can get into the top four but we need to carry on working.

"We are getting better and that is important. This team is young and we have a lot of desire to improve. If you have ambition, you can achieve great things.

"But we have to keep winning, because Chelsea are a team who can get better in any moment."
