Record signing Soldado wants to fire Spurs back to Champions League football

Tottenham Hotspur record signing Roberto Soldado thinks that his new club deserve to be in contention for a Champions League spot. The 28-year-old striker completed his switch from La Liga side Valencia  for a reported fee of £26m.


Tottenham have narrowly missed out on a securing Champions League qualification place in the last two years, but Soldado is hopeful of making an impact this campaign that can make the difference. 

"I'm absolutely honoured to be at this club, to wear the shirt that has so much history. I'm hoping that I can score lots of goals to repay the club's kindness in signing me," he told the club's Official website.

"Spurs is a great club and a club that deserves to be in the Champions League. I know it's a hard league and we have to work and play to that level to get there and I will do my best for the team.

"I've joined a great club with a lot of great players. As a group, including the new players, we're looking to improve and our objective is to get Spurs to where we belong. I've come here as a striker to score goals. I always try to achieve more goals in the next season, so that will be my aim, to score as many goals as I can for Spurs next season."
