Son Heung-Min insists Tottenham 'want to play in the Europa League'

LONDON - Tottenham Hotspur's players are desperate to play in the Europa League, according to forward Son Heung-Min, who feels he is back to his best after scoring the "best goal of his career" on Saturday.

Tottenham's hopes of reaching the Champions League knockout stages were ended by last month's 2-1 loss at Monaco but they are guaranteed to drop into the Europa League if they avoid defeat against CSKA Moscow in Wednesday's final group game.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino prioritised the league over the Europa League last season but Son said that dropping into the competition will not damage the club's domestic ambitions.
