Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has admitted he is not happy about Arsenal's league position.

With Spurs enduring a tough season that may see them miss out on Champions League football, Levy is under pressure.

The success of manager Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, who are top of the Premier League, is also causing him issues.

It has been an incredible journey, in the 22 years Tottenham has progressed enormously in that time period," said Levy, speaking at the debating society of Cambridge University.

Not as much as, as a fan, we would hope. But the journey is not over and we are still hoping that we are going to get that trophy that we need.

It is about winning. But winning, depending on the moment in time you ask that question to various people, means different things. When we first came in to Tottenham, winning was making sure we stayed in the Premier League.

And then as time goes on and we became more successful it was about getting into the Europa League, getting in the Champions League, and obviously the ultimate is about winning the trophies.

That is clearly what we are trying to do, it is easier said than done. Am I happy we have not won more than one trophy in the last 15 years? Absolutely not. But I also think we have had some fantastic times.

We have been in the Champions League a number of times. And despite the fact I feel sick that there is a club in north London that is higher than us at this moment in time, if I look back over the last five years we have also been above them. That is what happens."
