Tottenham winning a trophy is not compulsory, says Pochettino

Failing to secure silverware this season would not lead to the campaign being classed as unsuccessful, according to the Spurs manager

Mauricio Pochettino says winning a trophy this season is a purely personal objective and not a barometer for Tottenham as a club.

On the eve of his sixth campaign in charge, Spurs boss Pochettino acknowledged the time has come for him to deliver silverware.

The comments contrasted with his previously held view that a trophy was less important than cementing a place in the Premier League's top four.
