Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino challenges Christian Eriksen to prove he is world class: 'He can improve'

Mauricio Pochettino has called on Christian Eriksen to show why he should be considered world class.

The Tottenham attacker has stepped up this season, scoring five goals and assisting eight in the Premier League as he and his team-mates fight for the title.

Yet his manager is asking for more and challenged the 24-year-old Denmark international to take it up another level.
