Mauricio Pochettino has over the past five years built a Tottenham Hotspur team which is on the verge of being able to compete for silverware.
One player which the Spurs boss inherited was Christian Eriksen, who had made the move from Ajax in 2013 for a reported £11.5million (BBC).
Eriksen has been a pivotal part in Tottenham’s progress under Pochettino but wasted no time this summer in revealing his future hopes.
The Dane stated in an interview with Ekstra Bladet that he wanted to seek a challenge away from Spurs whilst admitting that he would welcome an approach from Spanish giants Real Madrid.
A report from The Mirror claimed that Eriksen has rejected the opportunity to hold talks over a new contract, with the club willing to pay him £200,000-a-week.
The news has seen some Spurs fans take to Twitter to react to the reports. Eriksen has just under twelve months to run on his current deal in North London and there is a chance he would leave on a free transfer next summer.
