Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Jamie Redknapp has said that it is "imperative" for Mauricio Pochettino's side to finish above rivals Arsenal in the Premier League table this season.
Spurs' title challenge ended on Monday night when they drew 2-2 at Chelsea, and third-placed Arsenal are now just three points off second position with two games left of the 2015-16 campaign.
Redknapp has insisted that his former team "have had a very good season", but believes that it would be "really disappointing" if Arsenal managed to pip them to the runners-up spot.
"Tottenham have had a very good season - but it is imperative they end the campaign well and finish above Arsenal," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "Finishing above their North London rivals is something they haven't done for 21 years and I know how much it means to the fans and the club to achieve that.
"If Arsenal - with all the problems and protests they've had this season - still finish above Spurs, it will be a really disappointing conclusion to a promising campaign for Mauricio Pochettino's men."
Tottenham host Southampton in the Premier League this weekend, while Arsenal will travel to Manchester City.
