Mauricio Pochettino says he hopes Christian Eriksen will extend his contract

The master and his general

The Tottenham Hotspur manager did not give a confident answer when quizzed about the future of perhaps his best creative midfielder Christian Eriksen. However, Pochettino said that he is hopeful that the Dane will extend his contract with Spurs.

Eriksen has been widely tipped for a move to Real Madrid and has not signed an extension with the North London club. The 27-year-old's current contract will run out in 2020. Eriksen has easily been one of Tottenham's most influential players under Pochettino.

Speaking to the press, Pochettino said,

"I hope and I wish Christian can be with us in the future but I think Christian and us we are so open to talk and we will see what happens.

"I think it is so close to the end of the season, a lot of time to talk after and I think the most important thing now, not only for him, is for all the players to be focused and try to achieve the things we want.

"We have a lot of big things ahead and we need to be focused only to try and recover, train and compete."
