Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has claimed that Champions League qualification is the club's "main ambition" next season.

Spurs, who are currently in Hong Kong to take part in the Barclays Premier League trophy, have narrowly missed out on reaching the competition during the past two campaigns.

"We want to become a club that qualifies for the Champions League," Villas-Boas told reporters. "That is our main ambition. We can do it this time around."

Tottenham start the Premier League season with a trip to Crystal Palace on August 18.
