Pochettino said he hoped Eriksen would still be at the club he joined from Ajax in 2013 next season.
“It’s a very special situation. Christian is a special person and we’re all different,” he told reporters.
“The team are not as fresh as we wanted, not just legs, but minds, so we have to congratulate the players. I’m so proud of them,” Pochettino said. Tottenham remain in third place with three games left, but now have a three-point lead over fourth-placed Chelsea. Arsenal and Manchester United are four and six points behind respectively, having played a game less.
“The players will know how hard they’ve worked to get as close as we did,” manager Chris Hughton said.
