New Tottenham Hotspur defender Jonathan Woodgate believes European qualification is not out of the question after sealing his move from Middlesbrough.

Spurs are currently 11th in the table after a disastrous start to the season which resulted in the departure of former boss Martin Jol.

New coach Juande Ramos has led a turnaround in fortunes at White Hart Lane and Woodgate believes he has joined a club on the up.

The 28-year-old former Leeds United, Newcastle United and Real Madrid stopper joined Spurs for a fee believed to be around the £8million mark.

"Spurs' cup form has been good and I think we are in a false position in the league considering the quality we have," he told the club's official website.

"Hopefully we can climb the table and finish as high as we can. I don't think a European place is out of the question yet.

"We have an exceptional group of young players with a lot of experience as well.

"I'm 28 now so I've got to take on the mantle of an experienced player and I'm sure I can live up to it."
