Kyle Walker says that Tottenham Hotspur want to finish third in the Premier League this season.

Kyle Walker has said that Tottenham Hotspur are aiming to finish third in the Premier League this season.

The White Hart Lane side were fourth in the table heading into their game against Newcastle United this lunchtime, just one point behind Chelsea.

The 22-year-old told The Mirror: "It's always good to go above a local rival. That third position is what everyone wants, really. It's a safety net for the Champions League.

"Hopefully it will slowly start to sink in for me and I'll start putting in the performances I did last season."

Spurs missed out on a place in this season's Champions League, despite finishing fourth in the last campaign.
