Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris has admitted that his side's early European exits last season have left him "frustrated".
Spurs reached the Champions League in 2016 after five years' absence from the competition, only to be knocked out in the group stage.
They won only two of six games to drop into the Europa League, where they were subsequently knocked out at the first hurdle by modest Belgian side Gent.
"It's been five seasons now that I'm with Spurs and I've got a little bit frustrated about Europe," the 30-year-old is quoted as saying by The Mirror.
"We've got the talent to go further than we've done, even in the Champions League, the highest level possible. We have the potential to reach another level.
"Hopefully this season we can prove our real value against the best teams in Europe and go as far as possible, even if the first target is to get our of the group stage.
"It's just the experience that is missing. Many of the players last season, it was their first experience of the Champions League. We can say whatever we want but there is always a first time in your career."
Spurs are yet to sign a player this summer, while Lloris is rumoured to be on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United.
