Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has responded to reports linking him with Manchester United, saying that he has no intention of leaving Spurs this summer.

Eriksen joined the north Londoners from Ajax in 2013 for £11m. Recent reports had linked him with a move to a team in the Champions League, after scoring 13 goals for the club last season, but he says he wants to stay at White Hart Lane.

"I feel right at home at Tottenham," he told Ritzau. "I haven’t thought about leaving yet. I still have three years on my current deal so I'm not in a big rush to leave the club."

"Our target is the same as last season. We need to get past that fifth place and break the top four. We might have finished fifth this year but we weren't close to the top four with the games we lost.

"We've a very promising squad with a lot of young players who have done well this season and they will only improve next season. So it will be exciting."
