Juventus are reportedly keen on signing the Tottenham Hotspur star.

According to a report from Italian media outlet Tuttosport, Juventus are eyeing a January swoop for Tottenham ace Christian Eriksen.

The 26-year-old joined Spurs from Ajax in the summer of 2013, for a fee believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £12.5 million, and he has gone on to be nothing short of an outstanding coup for the club, chalking up and impressive 57 goals and 73 assists in 239 appearances in all competitions.

Eriksen plays a key role for Tottenham, and usually provides the creative spark in the final third for Mauricio Pochetitno’s side.

Italian media outlet Tuttosport claims that Juventus are desperate to bolster their attacking midfield ranks in January, and have drawn up a list of potential targets that includes Eriksen, Arsenal’s Aaron Ramsey and Manchester United’s Paul Pogba.

The Denmark international is still under contract with Tottenham until the summer of 2020, so he will not come cheap, but Pochettino will surely be desperate to keep hold if him, regardless of how much Juventus are prepared to pay in order to obtain his signature.
