Real Madrid to raid Spurs for star… Not Wanyama

Real Madrid are keen on Tottenham star Christian Eriksen, report Spanish outlet El Confidencial.

It’s claimed Real president Florentino Perez has turned his attention to the Danish playmaker from Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.

Whether Madrid can afford him remains to be seen, with Eden Hazard also on their summer shopping list.

He made his debut for the Denmark national team in March 2010, and was the youngest player of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

In 2011, Eriksen was named Danish Football Player of the Year, Dutch Football Talent of the Year, Ajax Talent of the Year (Marco van Basten Award), and made the UEFA Euro U-21 Team of the Tournament.

He also won the Eredivisie with Ajax in 2010–11, 2011–12 and in 2012–13 before departing for Tottenham in August 2013 for a reported fee of around £11.5 million. He won the Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year award for the 2013–14 season and the 2016-2017 season. In 2018 he won his fifth Danish Football Player of the Year award.
