Spurs news: Christian Eriksen speaks on transfer rumours, Mauricio Pochettino on fixing the club

Tottenham may be struggling on the pitch so far this season, but things are looking good off the pitch.

The new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is earning rave reviews, and the latest to do so have been players, staff and fans of NFL clubs, with another fixture set for this weekend.

But the supporters are keen for Mauricio Pochettino's first XI to start putting results together on the pitch, so while others may be enjoying Tottenham's facilities, the club in N17 themselves are not.

We take a look at what's been going on around N17 and everything else that's happening around Spurs in our round-up of the biggest news stories in the past 24 hours.

The Spurs manager travelled across to Doha to present a coaching masterclass at the Aspire Fellows Summit in Doha, along with his assistant manager Jesus Perez , as one of a number of representatives from Premier League clubs in attendance at the event.

Eriksen on poor form and transfer speculation

Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen has insisted that the transfer speculation over certain players' future, including his own, has not had any impact on the club's recent poor performances and results.

Tottenham have lost three of their eight Premier League matches so far this season, and are winless in the Champions League, they also crashed out of the Carabao Cup to League Two side Colchester United.

Eriksen has been one of the players that has underperformed so far this season, with his poor performances being put down to the transfer talk around his future.

Suspensions on the horizon

Two members of Pochettino's squad are edging towards the number of yellow cards which triggers a Premier League suspension.

Any player who earns five bookings from his side's first 19 Premier League matches of the season will have to serve a one-match ban in the same competition.

Pochettino to Man United question

Could the top job at Old Trafford be available sooner rather than later following the Red Devils' depressing start to the season under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?

Unsurprisingly, it's Pochettino who is the current favourites with the bookies to replace the Norwegian at the helm.
