Christian Eriksen staying with Tottenham

I think he’s the kind of player that can help the team to achieve good things and, for sure, he will adapt quickly to our philosophy and our style.

Stoke 1-2 Tottenham: Spurs have been solid and unspectacular so far in this season and they’ve yet to really hit the form they found throughout much of previous year.

Free flowing in attack and experts at the quick press in defense, Spurs’ 4-0 win that night convinced the few remaining doubters that they were genuine Premier League title contenders.

Eriksen has faced criticism for rumoured wage demands that would make him the club’s top earner, but it is suggested he has settled on £75,000 a week after discussing the club’s direction with Mauricio Pochettino.

“When you play a lot of games, you need to keep your level”.

They played against Middlesbrough on the opening match day and was able to draw their game.

The home side’s players were taunted with chants of “Stoke City, it’s happening again” as they unravelled in the second half despite starting brightly with new signings Wilfried Bony and Bruno Martins Indi handed debuts.

Pochettino reflected on the last time they met, saying his team’s performance had him believing of league glory.

The Korean global hit the back of the net in both halves before Dele Alli and Harry Kane added gloss to the scoreline for Mauricio Pochettino’s charges. I feel the squad we have today, because it was the case with Sissoko, Vincent Janssen, [Victor] Wanyama, Harry Kane, Lloris, or Eriksen.

“They look like they’ve good heads on their shoulders, which is important”.

Stoke lost control of the game when Hughes lost his temper and was escorted from the side of the pitch. Six minutes later Spurs took a lead they would never lose. Crouch scored the goal that confirmed Spurs’ spot in the 2010/11 Champions League.

Harry Kane has taken to social media to express his delight at reaching 50 Premier League goals for Tottenham Hotspur.

Stoke have won just 1 of their last 7 league matches at home (D2 L4).

It was also a great game for South Korean attacker Heung-min Son.

The French global joined Spurs on transfer deadline day in what was a club record £30 million deal, despite at one stage looking set to join fellow Premier League outfit Everton.
