Christian Eriksen insists he never had any doubts about wanting to stay at Tottenham Hotspur, and says he signed a new contract because the club can reach the very top.

Eriksen, 24, agreed a new four-year deal with Tottenham last month after starting negotiations back in March, but rejected at least one offer from the club before manager Mauricio Pochettino intervened to ensure an agreement was reached.

The Denmark international, who is preparing for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Poland and Montenegro, believes Spurs have previously been a "middle to top club" but could now reach the summit.

"I wanted to extend [my contract] because I feel that we can take the next step, which is to be at the top," Eriksen told Tipsbladet.

"In the past Tottenham have been a middle to top club, but with the players we have in the squad, our way of playing and a new stadium, then there is a possibility that we may be at the top.

"Now we play also in the Champions League, as we did in the past, and that is something I like. I personally had no doubt that I wanted to stay and be a part of the building."

Meanwhile, Swansea and Poland goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski has identified Eriksen as Denmark's biggest threat ahead of Saturday's meeting in Warsaw.

"This is a player who stands out as the driving force of the attack. He takes good set pieces and has many positive qualities," Fabianski is quoted by bold.dk of saying about Eriksen, who scored two direct free kicks against the former Arsenal man in Tottenham's 2-2 draw at the Liberty Stadium last season.

"But it is still best to prepare tactically as a team, and you cannot focus on a single opponent. It is a team with players of high class, and therefore we must concentrate."
