Christian Eriksen ‘always happy’ at Spurs despite transfer talk, claims Mauricio Pochettino
CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN is “happy” at Spurs despite failing to secure a summer transfer out of North London.
The Danish international rocked last season’s Champions League finalists by declaring his desire for a “new challenge” in June.
That led to intense speculation throughout the window with both Manchester United and Real Madrid keen on securing the 27-year-old attacker.
A move away never materialised and Eriksen is now in the final year of his contract Tottenham, meaning he can leave on a free at the end of the season.
However, despite still being at the Premier League club, his manager Mauricio Pochettino insists his playmaker is not unhappy.
The Argentine said: “He never said he was not happy here - he always was.
Eriksen has started twice and made two substitute appearances this season.
He has only played one full game, but scored in the 2-2 draw at neighbours Arsenal before the recent international break.
The ex-Ajax ace will be hoping for more action and to add to that total when Spurs entertain Crystal Palace on Saturday.
