He revealed that Spurs were the only club to who were determined to add him to their squad and he is convinced that his new team will pose a challenge for the league title this season.


Eriksen told Danish newspaper BT: "There were not that many clubs to choose from in the end and no-one were closer than Tottenham.


"There were a lot of rumours, but I only felt right about the approach from Tottenham. The club followed me for a long time and really showed intent.


"It was the whole package that attracted me. I spoke briefly with the manager and my impression is that he is a very good manager. The goal is to challenge for the title. That is what the club wants and that is what I want."
