da betcris： Christian Eriksen has expressed his desire to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer, per Esktra Bladet.
The Denmark international has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid and has now finally opened up on his future.
Eriksen has been with the club since 2013 and made a total of 51 appearances in all-competitions in the 2018-19 season, as Spurs finished fourth in the Premier League and reached the Champions League final. He scored 10 goals and laid on a total of 17 assists.
The 27-year-old playmaker has yet to win silverware during his time in north London and has admitted that he hopes to make a “step up” in the summer transfer window.
He said: “I feel that I am at a stage of my career where I would like to try something new.
“I have the deepest respect for everything that is happening at Tottenham and it would not be something negative to stay. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.
“I hope that something will be decided this summer. That is the plan. In football, you never know when there could be a decision like that. It could be at any point. The best thing is always for it to happen quickly but in football things take time.”
It remains to be seen if Los Blancos will make a move this summer but is Eriksen right to want to leave the club in search of a new club and, potentially, silverware?
Football FanCast’s writers give their verdicts below!
Matt Dawson
“This is a difficult one to work out. The Spurs project is an exciting one and after seeing them reach the Champions League final it’s hard not to admire their accomplishments. However, Eriksen is someone who clearly hasn’t been too settled for a while now. Chances of immediate success would be enhanced if he joined one of Europe’s top clubs but I don’t think he’s good enough to perform consistently elsewhere. He should stick with Tottenham and believe in what looks to be a promising future for the club.”
Billy Meyers
“We can never know if a player is right to leave a club. Ex-Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho looked to be making the right decision when he joined Barcelona, only to then find himself cast aside whilst his former club dominates Champions League football. Eriksen is entirely within his rights to want a move away from Spurs, but it could very easily be a decision that he regrets due to the clear progress Mauricio Pochettino’s project is making.”
Jack Saville
“Absolutely. Eriksen’s time has come and I think it’s a move which will benefit all parties concerned. Pochettino has taken him to the next level since arriving at the club but the playmaker’s lacklustre performances in big games of late have been a major concern for the club. He has struggled to reach the pinnacle of his game in 2019 but his reputation should put Levy in the driving seat in negotiations. With just one year remaining on his current deal, Eriksen clearly has Tottenham’s best interests in mind by looking to move while the club can still make a massive profit.”
