Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Robert Skov.
Question marks hang over the future of Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen – but he has given his seal of approval to a reported Spurs target.
Eriksen, who has disappointed in a Spurs shirt of late, is currently away on international duty with Denmark, and drew 2-2 away at Kosovo on Thursday night.
Eriksen bagged a penalty in that game, but Denmark needed a last-gasp Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg equaliser to rescue the draw.
Denmark fans won’t have been impressed with the result, but they certainly missed a real weapon as winger Robert Skov was ruled through injury.
The Copenhagen sensation has been in scintillating form this season, smashing 26 goals and six assists in 40 games for the Danish side.
A number of those goals have come from superb free kicks, and Sky Sports recently claimed that Tottenham are interested in signing Skov this summer.
The 22-year-old could now take over from Eriksen on set piece duty for Denmark, and possibly even Spurs if a move to North London materialises.
Eriksen has now told Bold that he has ‘great respect’ for Skov, and praised his free kick record as ‘exceptional’ – seemingly a positive verdict on the Spurs-linked winger.
“I have great respect for Robert, who has scored so many free kick goals in the league, it’s really nice,” said Eriksen. “At Copenhagen, he does not waste many at the moment, and that is exceptional, so I may be in danger as a free-kick shooter – if he continues, then it is in danger at least,” he added.
