​Tottenham Hotspur's midfield maestro Christian Eriksen has pledged his future to the club by agreeing a deal which will extend his stay until 2021 according to the​ ​Daily Express.





The improved contract would see Eriksen become one of Tottenham's highest-paid players, collecting a cool £80k- a-week until 2021, and he can expect to earn £22.9m over the next few years.





The Danish international joined the Lilywhites from Ajax in 2013 for a fee believed to be in the region of £11m and during his spell with the club has developed to become an integral member of the first-team squad.





Under the guidance of Mauricio Pochettino, Spurs have launched an unprecedented title bid this season and Eriksen's winner against Manchester City on Sunday means they currently trail unlikely league-leaders Leicester City by just two points.





Eriksen has been a key player in Tottenham's march towards glory chipping in with five goals and claiming an impressive eight assists in only 23 Premier League appearances.





Now Pochettino wants to tie down the 24-year-old's service's to ward off interest from Manchester United and other European heavyweights.





The Red Devils chased the playmaker in the summer but the Dane publically confirmed he had no intention of departing White Hart Lane.

Speaking to Ritzau in June Eriksen said "I feel right at home at Tottenham. I haven't thought about leaving yet. I still have three years left on my current deal so I'm not in a big rush to leave the club."
