New Tottenham signing Gylfi Sigurdsson has outlined his ambition for success ahead of the upcoming season

Sigurdsson: Hungry

The 22-year-old rejected offers from Swansea and Liverpool to work under Andre Villas-Boas at White Hart Lane.

And the Iceland international reckons the move to north London will ultimately quench his appetite for trophies.

“I’m delighted to be here,” he told the club’s official website. “It’s a massive club with fantastic players.

“This club is always improving. There is massive ambition from the board and the players are really ambitious as well.

“We’re all looking forward for the new season to begin.”

Sigurdsson impressed during a loan spell at the Liberty Stadium in the second half of last season in which scored seven goals in 18 games and won the league’s Player of the Month award for March.

That period allowed the attacking midfielder to adapt to the Premier League but he admits the challenges at Spurs this term will be a lot tougher.

“The main target at Swansea was to stay in the league, here at Spurs, it’s a big club and we aim to win titles and silverware,” he added.

“I think the most important thing is that we get off to a good start in the Premier League, get a good momentum and then we can take that into the Europa League and then the FA Cup.

“We want to play for silverware in every competition we are in.”
