da bwin: Christian Eriksen is a summer transfer target for French champions Paris Saint-Germain as they look to bolster their squad in pursuit of that elusive first Champions League trophy, according to the Express.
da casino: However, Eriksen is as important as anyone at Tottenham to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans and he cannot be allowed to leave. Spurs will be hoping he doesn’t want to force a move.
What’s the story, then?
The Express report states that PSG, who will be managed by Thomas Tuchel next season, have identified the Danish playmaker as a man who can take them onto that much-coveted European glory.
It goes on to say that the Parisians are willing to pay up to £100m for the 26-year-old, who is valued at £63m by Transfermarkt – as a good World Cup could increase his value and put him in the shop window somewhat.
Eriksen is one of only three Premier League players to provide ten or more goals and assists in the top flight this season and stepped up to the plate as Tottenham’s talisman during the injury-enforced absence of Harry Kane.
Spurs can’t let him leave
In some ways, PSG’s pursuit of a first Champions League is similar to Pochettino’s ambitions to get that maiden pot at Tottenham; they are both considerable monkeys to get off their back.
Of course, the two clubs are going about the challenge in different ways and Spurs will hope that Eriksen is more seduced by Pochettino’s methods than PSG’s cynical spending approach.
If the Dane enjoys a good World Cup, he could find himself at the top of shopping lists around Europe, which would really give him a decision to make. Spurs have to keep him.
