Stoke City attacker Xherdan Shaqiri is expecting his club to reach the Champions League sooner rather than later.
The former Bayern Munich and Inter winger feels the team's style of play and star names mean they are on the brink of making huge progress.
"We have a very good team," the 24-year-old told The Mirror. "The way this club is going forward then, of course, soon this club will want to play in the Champions League.
"We are playing good football and that is the first step. We are in a good way and I'm sure that very soon we can aim for the Champions League.
"I don’t want to say this year we can make the Champions League, but we have the quality to get into Europe."
"We are in a good moment, but the Premier League is very tough – anything can happen," continued the Switzerland international.
"From ninth place to fifth place is really close and things can change every week.
"We will fight until the end to win a lot of games and then we will see, but we don't feel under pressure to get into Europe this season."
