Darren Bent believes Spurs can upset the big four and secure a UEFA Champions League slot next term.
The White Hart Lane outfit have finished behind Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in the last two years.
But the £16.5million record signing from Charlton is confident, with his added firepower, his new suitors can go one better this season.
"I've moved to a new club and the lads have been fantastic," Bent told the Daily Mirror.
"We can do really well. We've got some fantastic players, finished fifth in the past two years, so there is no reason why we cannot finish in the top four."
Bent scored his second goal in three starts as Spurs maintained their 100 per cent pre-season record with a 2-1 win over Orlando Pirates in Cape Town.
But he accepts with the likes of Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov and Jermain Defoe battling for a starting place competition is going to be tough.
"My main objective is to hopefully hold down a regular place and do as well as I can," he added.
"We've got four good strikers and hopefully that is only going to add to Spurs' firepower and help us push up the league."
