Hugo Lloris outlines Tottenham's Premier League objectives ahead of the 2019/20 season

Spurs captain Hugo Lloris how outlined the aims for Tottenham ahead of the upcoming 2019/20 Premier League season.

Mauricio Pochettino's men reached new heights last season by making it to the Champions League final. Although they lost that game against Premier League runners-up Liverpool, Lloris has said that they must use the experience as a platform to build from.

"We used to repeat that our team is a young team, but it has been five years now that we have worked together and I think it is the moment to come closer," Lloris told ESPN FC . "A few weeks ago, it was the final of the Champions League and it has to give us even more motivation and confidence for the future.

"It's always good to learn from what you have done in the season before, but the most important thing is to move on and look ahead of us. There are plenty of challenges and we will do our best like we always do. It is about details and we need to learn from the last two-three seasons.

"We have achieved great things for the club because it is always good to remember where it was a few years ago and where it is today. But it doesn't change -- our motivation is always to push our limits and improve every season."

The Lilywhites finished the season in fourth position, behind Chelsea and runaway leaders Manchester City and Liverpool, but Lloris is hopeful of being able to close the gap on the top two this season, if Spurs get off to a good start.

"We know that the Premier League is the most competitive league in the world and it is a big task to win the Premier League and to affirm your ambition," he said. "But I think it is the same for the other challengers -- for Liverpool, [Manchester] City, [Manchester] United, Arsenal and Chelsea -- and for us.

"We are going to try to build our season, step-by-step, and get the right feeling from day one in August and look ahead and be ready to fight. Obviously, City and Liverpool made an amazing season last year and they showed the way, in terms of consistency and results.

"But we know that the difference between a very good season and a massive one is so short."
