Eriksen’s Spurs future remains unclear

Tottenham Hotspur are still uncertain as to where star midfielder Christian Eriksen’s future will be, according to reports.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move away from the North London club this summer as he enters the final year of his contract.

And The Guardian report that Spurs are unsure on the Denmark international’s thoughts due to a breakdown in communication between the playmaker’s agent and chairman Daniel Levy.

It’s thought the Premier League side believe that their creator in chief wants to depart for either Real Madrid or FC Barcelona having shown no sign of wanting to extend his deal.

This has put boss Mauricio Pochettino in a difficult situation with the Argentine boss using Eriksen as a substitute in two of Tottenham’s opening three Premier League games.
