Christian Eriksen’s future at Tottenham remains unclear following statements to Danish media stating that he would like to “try something new.” (Ekstra Bladet).
However, with Real Madrid reportedly turning their interest to Manchester United’s Paul Pogba (Goal), the Danish maestro finds himself in limbo, unsure of what his next move in his career will be.
Eriksen’s future has been a vast talking point throughout the entire season, and it seems as if Spurs are preparing for the Dane’s departure, reportedly negotiating with a number of cubs for potential replacements.
Spurs have been linked with a variety of players, including Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele, Donny van de Beek, Bruno Fernandes, and Nicolo Zaniolo (Standard).
We will list the players that we think are viable options to replace Eriksen in order from 1-5, with 1 being the player Spurs should prioritise, and 5 being the least suited candidate to replace Christian Eriksen should he leave the club this summer.
Summary
Regardless of whether Eriksen leaves the club this summer, Spurs will surely make strong attempts to sign at least one of these players.
As always, transfer activity from other clubs could dictate who Tottenham sign.
Manchester United claimed that Paul Pogba is not leaving the club under any circumstances. If true, this might prompt Real Madrid to pursue interest in Eriksen once again.
Whilst it is believed that Eriksen is weighing up a new contract offer from Spurs, nothing has been set in stone. Levy will certainly not let the Danish midfield dynamite leave for free at the end of next season if a contract renewal is not met.
If a contract extension fails to fall through, Spurs should sell Eriksen, cash in, and invest in new talent at a cheaper price of which would likely inflate in the near future.
