The Schalke youngster will join Spurs in the off-season after signing a pre-contract agreement with the north Londoners.
The 22-year-old has been in impressive form in the Bundesliga, and is looking forward to playing for Andre Villas-Boas' side, whom he believes are good enough to challenge for silverware.
"Tottenham have got some big aims that I want to help them achieve," he told Sunday Mirror Sport.
"The club have really progressed and they are establishing themselves as a top-four team.
"In the future, and if the players stick around, then of course Tottenham can challenge for the title. I'm not predicting it will definitely happen, but it is certainly something we can aim for.
"I have big goals and I want to win trophies with Tottenham."
The Germany international is confident he can take his game to another level at White Hart Lane.
"If you are asking me who the exciting Spurs players are, then I would have to name the whole team because it's full of stars," he said.
"To play with and compete with these guys will improve my game, for sure."
Holtby also revealed he will be looking to Jurgen Klinsmann for inspiration, the German striker having earned himself cult status during his stay at Spurs.
"He is a legend of the club," added Holtby. "He joined the club with big expectations and everybody thought 'he's a German diver'.
"But he scored his first goal, made the dive in celebration and that made him very popular. He's a legend in Germany and at Tottenham, so it's great to be joining the club he played for."
