Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says finishing in the top four would have been seen as a 'JOKE' when he took over last year with Spurs now on the brink of the Champions League... as he hails Daniel Levy for backing him

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits the target of finishing in the top four would have been seen as a 'joke' when he first arrived as Spurs close in on a return to the Champions League.

Spurs only need a point at already-relegated Norwich on Sunday to secure their spot in Europe's elite ahead of rivals Arsenal, who play Everton at home, marking an impressive turnaround in their season.

The team were in disarray when the Italian was appointed in November following a disastrous start to the season under Nuno Espirito Santo, with Conte having to change the mentality of an underperforming squad.
