Tottenham's Christian Eriksen is 'elite' but can get better - Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino has challenged Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen to produce his best more consistently if he is to become a top player.

Eriksen is enjoying a purple patch, having registered five goals and two assists in his last four Premier League games.

But the Dane, who scored twice in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Hull, started the season slowly as he failed to find the net in any of Spurs' opening 11 matches.

"He is an elite player. It's true that he is young and can improve, but I think he is a very good player," Pochettino said.
