James Maddison believes Tottenham must get rid of the "black mark" against their name when it comes to winning trophies — and has backed Ange Postecoglou to help get them over the line.
Spurs have not lifted silverware since 2008, when they defeated Chelsea in the final of the League Cup.
Tottenham have come close since then, even reaching the final of the Champions League in 2019, and Maddison says the time has come for them to end their trophy drought.
The midfielder, who moved to Spurs last year from Leicester, came to the club to win trophies, and believes Postecoglou can help him achieve that dream.
When all is done in your career, you look back on what you've won
The Australian has won silverware at every club he has managed, with his second season often proving particularly fruitful.
"It's spoken a lot in the media here and it's a bit of a black mark against Tottenham's name in terms of silverware, and that's on us," said Maddison.
"That's our duty to try and change the history of recent times and try to get our hands on silverware. It's not a thing we should not talk about.
"The club needs to be winning trophies. A club of this size and the quality we have we should be battling it out for trophies, but we have a good few chances with the Europa League, the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and the Premier League.
"Hopefully, we can have a deep run in one of them. When all is done in your career, you look back on what you've won."
Tottenham have had a mixed start to the season, taking four points from their opening three Premier League games. Spurs are next in action on Sunday, when they host local rivals Arsenal, and Maddison is relishing the pressure of the north London derby.
"Last year, I learned how much it meant for Tottenham to play against Arsenal and what it means to beat your local rivals," he told Optus Sport.
"Just being around here, coming into work every day and even just living locally, the build-up for a north London derby is a little bit different to the other games."
