Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has called on Christian Eriksen to improve in front of goal following Spurs' 1-1 draw with Premier League champions Leicester.

The north London club are now without a win in five matches in all competitions, after Ahmed Musa's strike scrambled Leicester a point at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Tottenham remain unbeaten in the league, but Pochettino insists his men must toughen up in the final third - especially attacking midfielders Eriksen and Dele Alli given Harry Kane's absence through injury.

"[Eriksen] needs to improve and he needs to be more determined to score," said Pochettino, whose side have mustered only three goals in their last five matches.

"Today I think Christian had more shots than other player, but there was a lack of determination to score. That's football, it's to believe and not only to play well, but be aggressive.

"The reality is that for the chances we created in the game we need to be more clinical and score more. It's evident that we need to score more. I'm not worried about that but I think it's a characteristic that we have.

"It's true that today and in the last few games we have had problems in that situation."

Kane has been sidelined with ankle ligament damage he sustained after scoring in the 1-0 league win over Sunderland on September 10.

Spurs have badly missed not just Kane's scoring rate, but also the link play that creates space for both Eriksen and Alli.

Tottenham host Leverkusen on Wednesday before taking on Arsenal in the north London derby at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, and Pochettino is hopeful that the 23-year-old striker could be involved at some stage.

"Wednesday 50 per cent, and Sunday we'll see," the Argentinian said of Kane's prospects.

"It's always important (to have Kane fit). He's our main striker.

"We're very, very happy with Vincent (Janssen). We brought him in to share that position with Harry. It's impossible to put all the pressure on him to score the goals.

"But not only our strikers, we need our second line to score more, to be more aggressive in the last third.

"Maybe we've lacked aggression in our second line in the last few games too. We've got to be more determined to score, not only play well.

"We're a team that can dominate and play well. We have a very good plan of the game, but then we need to be more determined to score.

"That means more aggression. Aggressive is not to punch but to be more direct, shoot, believe.

"We are very good in possession, we build up from the back very well, our plan is perfect, but then in the last third we've got to be more clinical, more aggressive.

"After 10 games we're in a position that before the season we would take.

"Five victories, five draws, but it's true that that is not enough. If we want to fight for big things, we need to improve."
