Tottenham will be stronger next season after this year's title disappointment, according to Kevin Wimmer.

Mauricio Pochettino's side began the campaign as little more than top-four contenders but, after a slow start, developed into title challengers.

Spurs proved to be eventual champions Leicester's biggest rivals but faltered during the run-in and finished third after collecting just two points from their final four games.

But Wimmer, who made 10 Premier League appearances during his debut season in English football, is adamant Tottenham's failure to last the course will benefit them next term.

"I knew Tottenham Hotspur as a club that fights for the top four - this was also our target this season and we did well," he told the club's official website.

"Then we also had the chance to win the title - in the end we were very close but I think we’ll just get stronger out of this and hopefully next season we can do a little bit better."

Despite the season ending on a sour note, courtesy of a 5-1 defeat at Newcastle, Wimmer is already looking ahead to next season after settling into life at White Hart Lane.

"I’ve enjoyed it a lot here and I’m already looking forward to next year.

“When I arrived here last summer I felt very good and very comfortable. I was welcomed by everybody, by the players and the staff as well.

"I felt very good from the beginning and I think we have done very well this season," he added.
