Woodgate determined to help Spurs

England defender Jonathan Woodgate believes his new club Tottenham's 11th place in the Barclays Premier League is a "false position".

The 28-year-old has finally completed his move from Middlesbrough to Spurs - and although the details of the deal have yet to be announced, Woodgate is likely to cost Juande Ramos' side in the region of £7million.

He told Spurs TV Online: "I think it's a false position in the league, with the quality we've got. I hope we can climb up the league and get as high as we can."

He added: "The group of players we've got here is exceptional - young players, and experience as well.

"They've got a great future. Obviously they are in Europe and in the (Carling) Cup - and the manager is excellent. He's won things with Sevilla, and a lot of the players are fantastic as well."
