Tottenham new boy Clint Dempsey believes that Spurs should be playing Champions League football.
The north Londoners finished fourth last term, a spot that would usually give the club a place in the Champions League qualifying round, but were denied a place in Europe’s elite competition after sixth-placed Chelsea lifted the trophy.
“To be fair, ¬Tottenham ¬deserve to be in the Champions League,” the American insisted.
“They finished fourth, but missed out on a technicality ¬because Chelsea won it.
“[But] we are still playing some of the best teams in Europe.”
