Jermain Defoe reveals that teammate William Gallas believes Tottenham should not settle for Champions League qualification.

Tottenham Hotspur striker Jermain Defoe has revealed that William Gallas wants the club to set their sights on winning the Premier League title.

Harry Redknapp's side are currently ten points behind league leaders Manchester City in third place, and centre-back Gallas believes that Spurs should not settle for Champions League qualification.

Defoe said: "He tells us to think, first and foremost, about finishing top. Hopefully the top two will slip up. You never know what will happen between now and the end of the season.

"The other day, I was having a conversation with him and he was saying that he doesn't understand anyone within the squad who thinks we can finish fourth or even third.

"He passes that all on to us and tells us to stop settling for fourth place and qualifying for the Champions League, like we did two years ago."

Spurs are preparing to face rivals Arsenal in the Premier League on Sunday.
