Christian Eriksen says the stability Mauricio Pochettino has brought to Tottenham is why players are happy to commit their futures to the club.

Spurs have finished fifth then third then second under the Argentine's stewardship and continue to improve, most recently comfortably beating Champions League holders Real Madrid at temporary home Wembley.

Every first-team player bar Toby Alderweireld and Victor Wanyama has been rewarded with at least one improved contract since last summer and Eriksen - who scored a hat-trick for Denmark on Tuesday evening - says Tottenham is a perfect place for a player.

"He has given stability not only to me but to the whole club," Eriksen told Sky Sports. "That's the main thing for a player.

"You feel comfortable, you feel aware of everything around you and you don't think about anything other than football when you're on the pitch.

"All the players have long-term contracts. They feel safe being here. It's why you commit your future to a place like this."

He added: "[Pochettino] gives his players a lot of confidence and he trusts to let them play.

"I have played a lot of games under the manager now. He knows what I'm good for and what I'm not good for but he trusts me completely.

"You feel that trust and it makes you want to do everything for him.

On Tuesday night, Eriksen scored a hat-trick as Denmark secured their place at next summer's World Cup finals, with a convincing 5-1 victory away to the Republic of Ireland.

"It's not often I score any hat-trick, so of course it's incredible and taking your country to the World Cup with three goals away and winning the play-off, it's going to mean a lot for my whole career, for my whole life really. It's a big thing and I'm very, very happy about it."
