Rose urges Tottenham to make season one of their best ever

Danny Rose is driven on by the chance to make this season "one of the best Tottenham has ever had".

Spurs took a major step towards booking a fourth successive top-four place in the Premier League on Tuesday with a 1-0 win over Brighton while they are in the semi-finals of the Champions League, with a two-legged tie against Ajax beginning next week.

It has been an impressive campaign for Mauricio Pochettino's men, who were in the title race until February, against the backdrop of crippling injuries and delays to their new stadium.

And with a massive few weeks coming up, Rose and his team-mates know they have an opportunity to make history.

Rose said: "Bar one week when we lost to Burnley, Chelsea and drew to Arsenal, I think over the course of the season we can be proud of what we've done.

"It's not over yet, we're in the home stretch and we've got a chance to make this season one of the best Tottenham has ever had.

"We roll on to a massive game at the weekend (against West Ham) and an even bigger one against Ajax."

Rose adopted a cautious approach when asked what this Spurs squad was capable of, having had his fingers burned previously this season.

"I fell into this trap, saying what we could achieve two months ago when we were in the mix with Liverpool and City," Rose said.

"I thought we were right in there. I don't want to fall into that trap again. I'd rather keep it in the dressing room.

"We know what we're capable of. Every team the manager puts out he's fully expecting to win. We've got to keep believing and see where it takes us."
