Tottenham Hotspur have ended a difficult season on the highest of notes as they secured their first trophy in 17 years along with Champions League qualification.
Tottenham can’t finish any higher than 14th in the Premier League table and there’s a good chance they could finish 17th in the table, just one place above the relegation zone.
However, none of that matters, because Spurs have won the Europa League and, as a result, will play in the Champions League next season.
And despite Tottenham’s struggles in the league, they have shown they can comprehensively beat anyone on their day, suggesting the club is on the right track.
Chris Sutton has now made a confident prediction regarding where he thinks Spurs will finish in the top flight next season.

Chris Sutton confident Tottenham will finish in Premier League’s top six next season
Sutton, speaking on BBC 606, spoke about both Tottenham and Man United in the wake of their Europa League final clash.
He described losing the final as a “catastrophe” for Man United.
Meanwhile, Sutton spoke of how the benefits for the winners will extend into next season thanks to Champions League qualification.
Sutton then said he was “absolutely certain” that Tottenham would finish in the top six at the end of the 2025/26 season.
“Because the winner – Champions League football, the money which comes with the Champions League,” said Sutton.
“The loser, it’s a catastrophe because, you know, the lack of finance which they will get in.
“But the recruitment is going to be key for Manchester United over the summer.
“Same for Tottenham, but I’m absolutely convinced Tottenham will finish in the top six next season.”
How much money Tottenham could make from winning the Europa League final
Tottenham’s immediate financial reward for winning the Europa League outright is around £10.9million in prize money from UEFA.
However, this pales in comparison to how much Spurs stand to make as a consequence of winning the Europa League next season.
Tottenham are guaranteed to earn £16million just for reaching the group stage of the Champions League, according to BBC Sport.
However, this could climb to about £50million with additional prize money awarded based on league position and for victories and draws.
The report then says Tottenham would also be able to generate millions from tickets, broadcasters, and sponsors.
The additional pulling power of being able to promise Champions League football to potential new signings will also stand Tottenham in good stead when it comes to the summer transfer window.
