Hugo Lloris believes Tottenham Hotspur are close to attaining the level required to compete for trophies.

Spurs, who have been perennial underachievers in the Premier League, are the league’s dark horses this season.




Tottenham are currently fourth in the standings with 42 points from 23 games, just five adrift of surprise leaders Leicester City.

Mauricio Pochettino’s team have also managed to progress to the knockout rounds of the Europa League, in addition to reaching the fourth round of the FA Cup at the expense of the Foxes.
 


And Lloris, who thinks Tottenham are ever-improving their mentality, feels it will not be long before his side turn into a title winning outfit.

“We always want to improve and to develop our mentality to become a winning team”, the goalkeeper told the club’s official site.

“The road is still long but we feel we are improving all together and we are starting to be very hungry for the next few months and next few years.

“The team is young but we are nearly at the level to be ready to compete [for trophies].

“It’s just a matter of time but, with this mentality and this atmosphere, things are improving quicker than normal.”

Tottenham, who came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 3-1 in the league at the weekend, will next face League One club Colchester United in the FA Cup on Saturday.

The north London outfit have lost just three games in the Premier League this season, the second-lowest in the division behind Leicester City.
