Kyle Walker desperate for success with Tottenham
Friday 11 December 2015 17:50, UK
Kyle Walker wants to win the Premier League and play in the Champions League with Tottenham - but admits there is still a long way to go to achieve either despite their impressive season so far.
Spurs are unbeaten in the Premier League since the opening day, and head into their Super Sunday clash with Newcastle on the cusp of the top four.
Walker told Sky Sports News HQ: "Our feet are firmly on the ground, I can assure you of that. Everyone in the dressing room is just taking it a game at a time and not looking too much towards the future.
"Obviously everyone's ambition here is to play Champions League football, but we know it will be difficult because there are some good teams around us.
"I'd love to win the Premier League with Tottenham, I'm not going to say I wouldn't. I've been here six years and when I first joined the club I wanted to achieve things.

"But there's a long way to go, the December period is a very important time to get a good run of form going. Get a good couple of wins together and I think this is make or break time."
Newcastle have just one win and three goals on the road all season ahead of their trip to White Hart Lane. However, Steve McClaren's side saw off Liverpool last weekend and Walker, 25, believes the unpredictable nature of the Premier League means that anything could happen on Sunday.
"The Premier League is wide open, anyone is beating anyone at the minute, Leicester are flying which no one probably expected at the start of the season," he said.
"We just have to prepare as we would for any other game, do the basics well and hope we get the three points."

Walker struggled with injury last season, but has been a near ever-present this campaign and made his first start for England last month in two years - and he hopes his form will give him the chance to make Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2016.
"Obviously to go and represent your country is a great honour," said Walker. "I missed out (at the last two tournaments) through injury, which always seems to come at the wrong time.
"But this year I've worked hard at the gym to keep myself fit and healthy and I'm doing the right things outside of here as well."
