Christian Eriksen "happy" at Tottenham Hotspur

Christian Eriksen says that he won't leave Spurs in the summer if the club fail to secure a Champions League place.

Christian Eriksen has ruled out the prospect of leaving Tottenham Hotspur should the club fail to secure a Champions League place this season.

The former Ajax starlet had grown used to life among Europe's elite having participated in the tournament for the last three seasons with the Dutch giants.

Although Eriksen admits an affection for the competition, the Denmark international insists that a departure is not on the cards if Spurs finish outside the top four.

"I don't know how other guys are thinking, but I'm happy where I am, and hopefully we'll get to the Champions League anyway," he told Sky Sports News.

"I think it is important for the club, and the calibre of player that could come, or stay. I think everybody wants to go to the Champions League.

"I've tried it before at Ajax, and you see everything is bigger, the atmosphere, the TV rights, the people watching. The Europa League is great, but the Champions League is what everybody wants, it's the best place to play."

Tim Sherwood's men sit fifth in the Premier League table, four points adrift of fourth-placed Manchester City, who have played two games fewer.
