Christian Eriksen has signed a contract extension with Tottenham Hotspur and the 24-year-old Denmark midfielder has committed himself to the Premier League club until 2020.

Eriksen joined Spurs from Dutch side Ajax in 2013.

"Tottenham found this fixture quite easy past year, winning 4-0 at the Bet365 Stadium, and though I don't see it being as easy this time, Spurs need to start a winning run in order to stay with the pack at the top of the Premier League". "We've added some great additions to the team, we've bought some great players in who have fitted in perfectly".

Christian Eriksen ignored interest from Europe's elite to sign a new contract at Tottenham, according to the player's agent. 'Our power is our facilities, the way we play, it is in the way our supporters show passion.

In turn, given his influential role in the side, it's no surprise that Pochettino is a relieved man to get the contract sorted once and for all, and having picked up five points from their opening three league games this year, the focus will now exclusively be on building on their solid start with Eriksen playing a leading part in that push.

Pochettino admitted for the first time on Thursday that the win had him thinking his side could go on to win the league, only for them to fail to claim victories in any of their final four games.

Speaking of her wonderful performances, the athlete said her mental development was the factor that enhanced her game. Karolina Pliskova, of the Czech Republic, reacts after beating Serena Williams during the semifinals of the U.S.

He said: "I'm happy with the squad I have - although I was happy before".

"I see the club taking steps forward".

"For me it is all about performance", Pochettino said in regard to the recent call-ups.

The Denmark global has started the season sluggishly and he was substituted with over 20 minutes remaining of the 1-0 win over Crystal Palace last month after a particularly poor performance.

"After we add three players in the last few days, I was happy too".
