The 21-year-old has spent time on loan with several clubs in recent years but has been highlighted by manager Harry Redknapp as a player who will get more game time this season.
Livermore told the club’s official website: “I just want to play.
“The gaffer said I’ll get my chance, so I’ll take his word for it and continue doing what I’m doing.
“There are plenty of games so hopefully they will be some squad rotation or I’ll be able to cement a place at some point.
“I’ve had my injuries, had my time out on loan and hopefully this is my time to play.”
The central midfielder scored the winning goal for Spurs in last Saturday’s friendly victory over Brighton.
And for Livermore the next step is simply playing again in the team’s final pre-season game against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.
“I’ll just get my head down, work hard and hopefully be involved again this Saturday,” said Livermore.
“It would be nice to be involved and play at White Hart Lane.”
Redknapp is enthusiastic about Livermore’s future, and has already pledged that young players like him will be given opportunities in the Europa League this season.
“Jake is a lad with great attitude, wants to be a player, works hard, is a smashing boy and we hope he has a chance,” said the Spurs boss.
Livermore has had spells on loan with Crewe, Derby, Peterborough, MK Dons, Ipswich and Leeds in the last three years.
