Tottenham fans will love what Christian Eriksen has said about what the club can achieve under Thomas Frank.<\/p>\n

The new Tottenham boss<\/a> has already discovered that the pressure and scrutiny associated with managing the Lilywhites is very different to what he experienced at Brentford.<\/p>\n

Even though Spurs are just a point away from a top-four spot in the Premier League<\/a> and are unbeaten in the Champions League, many have already questioned Frank\u2019s methods at Tottenham<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new Spurs boss has also had to deal with an extremely bloated injury list<\/a>, but he has been afforded no sympathy by the media, given Tottenham\u2019s poor home record this season<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Eriksen<\/a> was part of Spurs sides under Mauricio Pochettino<\/a> that came close to winning the Premier League and the Champions League.<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder, who worked with Frank during his six-month loan spell at Brentford in 2022, believes the Lilywhites can scale similar heights under his compatriot.<\/p>\n

Eriksen said on Tottenham in the matchday programme vs Copenhagen (04\/11\/25): \u201cI hope they do really well this season. With Thomas in charge, it would be great to see Spurs take it up a level and start to get close to winning the Premier League.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the ultimate ambition for Spurs<\/a>, to win the Premier League. Obviously, there\u2019s work to do, but it\u2019s something the fans, the club would love one day.\u201d<\/p>\n

What should be Spurs\u2019 realistic aim this season?<\/p>\n

Before the start of the season, Frank announced that he wants Tottenham to be competitive in all four competitions<\/a>, pointing out that the club have not achieved that since 2019.<\/p>\n

This is a transitional season for Spurs, given the change in management and the significant player turnover in the summer.<\/p>\n

Reaching the final eight of the Champions League<\/a> and finishing in the top six in the Premier League will represent a decent season for the Lilywhites, and they are on course to achieve that.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
