Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen is reportedly on Barcelona’s radar.
Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen looks dejected
Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen made some interesting comments earlier this week that led to speculation on his future at the club.
The 25-year-old told Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet that it would be hard for him to turn down a move to Barcelona.
“Barcelona is a fantastic club — I don’t think there a lot of players who would say no to Barcelona,” said Eriksen.
“But there is ‘interest’ and then there is concrete interest. Until there is some concrete interest, I don’t have an opinion about it.”

According to reports of Spanish newspaper, Mundo Deportivo, Eriksen didn’t hide his intention of joining Barcelona when he made those statement.
The newspaper claim that Eriksen is indeed on the radar of Barcelona, but he is not Catalan giants’ first choice target.
The report adds that Barcelona can still make a move for him, and that a summer signing may be on the cards. But, Barcelona will only move for him if they fail to sign Marco Verratti from Paris Saint-Germain.
Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen reacts
Eriksen has enjoyed a superb 2016/17 campaign for Spurs, where he scored eight goals and provided 15 assists in the Premier League.
He is central to Mauricio Pochettino’s plans and Spurs has no intention to sell him at the moment.
Eriksen made a frank admission though. Not many players in the world can refuse an offer from Barcelona, but there has to be an offer at the first place for him to consider.
