Christian Eriksen has claimed that he has signed a new contract at Tottenham Hotspur because the club are moving in the right direction.

Mauricio Pochettino's side launched a genuine challenge for the Premier League title last season, but they crumbled in the final four games by drawing two and losing two.

This season, Spurs are unbeaten in their first three games having drawn two and won one, and Eriksen is confident that Pochettino is building a title-winning team.

"It's a very good group of people, players who connect with each other, staff who connect with the players and we all have an idea of where we want to go, and hopefully we'll achieve it," Eriksen told Spurs TV.

"I see the club taking steps forward. I want to be part of that and luckily, the club wants me to be part of it as well. I see a great future because as I said, we're taking it step by step and it's only going one way at the moment. I'm very happy to be here."

Tottenham's next game is away to Stoke City on Saturday.
