Spurs news: Scathing Christian Eriksen verdict, Champions League proposal, Pochettino backing

Tottenham need a win on their return to Premier League action this weekend.

A bad week, in which they suffered back-to-back defeat, conceding ten goals preceded the international break.

And defeat to Watford this weekend does not bear thinking about.

Pochettino has received backing from a former Spurs man in today's roundup of the biggest stories from around Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, as well as information on potential January transfers.

All that and more is below.

Bruno Fernandes quality

Tottenham are likely to be busy in the January transfer window.

Mauricio Pochettino wants to refresh his squad and with many expected to leave next summer, Spurs need reinforcements.

One of those could be Bruno Fernandes, whom Spurs were reported to have agreed a deal with in the summer.

And the stats from his season so far with Sporting CP explain just why Spurs were keen to sign him.

Champions League proposal

Tottenham got to the Champions League final last season.

Spurs played in the showcase final in Madrid, ultimately losing out to Liverpool 2-0.

This year's final may seem like a long way away, given their start to the tournament, but last year's campaign got off to a similar start.

And if Spurs are to get to the final again this time around, where will it be held? It is due to take place in Turkey, but that could change.

Here's why.

Pochettino backing

There have been rumblings of discontent at Tottenham, given their start to the season.

But few would really like to see the back of Mauricio Pochettino, given everything he has done for the club.

He does find himself under pressure, however, with the side in ninth place in the Premier League and with one point from their opening two Champions League games.

One person, who knows Spurs inside out, thinks the Argentine being under pressure is stupid, though.

Christian Eriksen transfer verdict

The future of Christian Eriksen remains a hot topic of conversation.

Spurs fans want to know if he will be leaving in January, or if he will stay at the club until the summer, when he can leave on a free.

There are plenty of teams in the market for his signature, but Bayern Munich will not be one.

At least that's the view of German legend Lothar Matthaus, who delivered a scathing verdict on the Dane.
