Tottenham are too young for the Champions League - Gallas

Spurs have a diabolical record at the national stadium, they won only one of the five matches they played there in Europe and in the FA Cup last season.

Gallas believes a similar fate could await Tottenham again next season due to the inexperience and rawness of the playing staff at the North London outfit.

Winks was disappointed to miss Tottenham's run-in, which ultimately ended in disappointment as they fell short in the Premier League and FA Cup, but he is now hopeful of pushing on and proving himself at the club's temporary Wembley home in 2017-18.

Tottenham Hotspur F.C. suffered a setback ahead of their one-season tenure at Wembley after the Premier League said they can not alter the dimensions of the playing surface, the Times reported on Tuesday.

"Against Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen in the group games, it showed that they needed more experience".

"I'm really happy with that but most importantly, you can't rest on that and I know that - I know I've got to keep working hard, keep improving".

Two years ago the Premier League instructed all clubs that the pitch size should be 100m by 68m.

Tottenham have been blocked in their move to reduce the size of the Wembley pitch - to match the dimensions of White Hart Lane.

Freund told BT Sport: "Tottenham had a great season, came close to winning the league and it's so important to be playing in the Champions League".

Gallas, however, is fully optimistic that a team with such talent should have no issues in arresting that wrong in the upcoming campaign.

Steffen Freund believes Manchester United enjoyed a better season than Tottenham Hotspur, despite finishing second, as the Red Devils won three pieces of silverware.
