Pochettino Concern Over Christian Eriksen’s Future At Tottenham

Tottenham head coach, Mauricio Pochettino accepts he feels concern over midfielder Christian Eriksen’s future. The Denmark midfielder hinted at the end of last season to be intersted in a new challenge especially outside the premier league. However, the Tottenham star haven’t gotten any deal signed and the transfer window is soon to close. Eriksen would be available on a free transfer next year if no deal is signed or being sold before September 2 which will be the closing date of the current transfer window.

On asking coach Pochettino about the the situation of the midfielder, he said;

“Of course it is not a good situation,”

“It is not what I think the club or the player expected it to be. A difficult situation for both sides.

“Yesterday, I was talking with (chairman) Daniel (Levy) and he recognised (that) it’s not a good place, (for) teams like us, clubs like us.

“But always I am open to help the club and to help the decision of Daniel. Of course my door is always open for him to come and to ask or to help in the decision.

“I know really well that decisions like this are not easy but I always try to be in the position to take the best benefit for the club.

“And of course for the player too, because it’s two interests, we can not be on one side or the other. The most important thing is to try to take the best decision for both sides.”

“I always tell the player to not be affected by the rumours,” he added.

“In this situation, there is nothing to say, because still we have one more year on his contract.

“It’s not the best situation for him, for everyone. It’s not easy, because of rumours, things happen around you.

“But Christian has a personality and a character that, he’s involved, and he’s not affected by the rumours or situation surrounding him.”
