Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen: We all believe we can win trophies

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen is convinced they're on the brink of a golden trophy era.

Despite the heartache of not making it to the quarter-finals of Europe's elite club competition, Spurs now turn their attentions to the last eight of the FA Cup as they face Swansea in the lunch-time kick off on Saturday.

Eriksen believes the club are closer than ever to winning a trophy after coming agonisingly close so many times before.

"We are really close now," he said. "We've lost a final, a semi-final, we've been in important games, and haven't got the results we wanted. It's been a curve for the club.

"Every player who comes here now wants a trophy. It wasn't like that when I came. Now, you come here to win something. Now, we're playing to win something. That has changed a lot."
