Tottenham Hotspur Opinion: Spurs must keep Eriksen beyond the summer 

According to a recent report by The Metro, Tottenham Hotspur are said to be willing to listen to offers for their talented Danish midfield wizard Christian Eriksen. The 27-year-old is claimed to be on the radar of both English rivals Manchester United, as well as Spanish giants Real Madrid.

It is suggested that Spurs have already branded him as one of their most important players and they will not be prized out of him for a meagre price.

As suggested, Spurs are said to have slapped a price tag of £60m on the Dane’s head – a price that the aforementioned European giants could shell out without their hearts skipping a beat. 

As he heads in the final year of his current contract, it will be quite interesting to see whether he is intrigued by this interest from some of the football heavyweights.

Considering this is his 6th season playing for the north London club and they’re yet to win a single trophy since he joined, it could be too big an opportunity for him to pass up on.

Despite being their Player of the Year for two consecutive years, Eriksen never really had a massive impact on the team in his initial years. Over time though, he has developed into one of the Premier League’s deadliest players and to think that a player of that quality is yet to earn a winner’s medal in England is almost unthinkable.

Since Mauricio Pochettino has come in, things certainly have looked up and the opening of their new stadium is bound to come as added motivation as well. Irrespective of all that though, when a club like Real Madrid comes calling, it’s not easy to say no. 

Since making the switch from Ajax back in the summer of 2013, Eriksen has featured extensively for Spurs over various tournaments. He has played a total of 271 games for the London club – a period during which he’s managed to score 65 goals and assist a further 86. 

This season, he has played in 32 of Spurs’ league games and he’s notched up an impressive 7 goals and 12 assists. Although he’s a regular starter for the club, there certainly hasn’t been a dip in his involvement with the national team. Having already collected 87 caps for Denmark, the Dane has scored 26 goals – an excellent return for a midfielder. 

He has been integral to all the positive things that Spurs have achieved over the years and with their progress to the semifinal of this season’s Champions League.

He played a huge part in both games against Manchester City and will have to be even better as Spurs face off against the Dane’s former club.

This year will come as a wake up call to Eriksen who will realise that he’s capable of changing things at Tottenham. He has perfect attributes to operate from the middle of the park in Mauricio Pochettino’s system and letting him go in the summer would be a mistake that they will never get over.
