Ange Postecoglou says Champions League qualification should not be seen as a ‘Willy Wonka golden ticket’ for Tottenham, insisting it is a ‘meaningless’ achievement if not repeated next season.

For the first time, five Premier League teams could qualify for the Champions League thanks to their league position this season, with Tottenham currently fifth.

Speaking ahead of facing Aston Villa on Sunday, Postecoglou said he doesn’t see that as a potential insurance policy: “I don’t see the point in trying to aspire to anything other than number one. What’s the point? I don’t see the point.” spot.

“I’ve said all along that I’m not desperate to get something just for comfort or security.” I’m here to create a team that wins things. To me, it defies logic.”
