'We're much better' - Tottenham chief makes bold Liverpool and Man City claim

Fabio Paratici is confident Tottenham have been able to reduce the gap to Liverpool and Manchester City and is targeting regular Champions League football.

The Spurs managing director took the reins in North London last summer and has been able to reunite with Antonio Conte - the two worked together at Juventus - to get Champions League football at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Those signings and Conte’s relentless pushing of the boundaries has helped Tottenham enjoy an unbeaten start to the new campaign, with 14 points from six games leaving them third and, in the eyes of some, early dark horses for a title challenge.
