The Tottenham Hotspur star is linked with a move away.

ESPN have reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ‘bemused’ by Christian Eriksen’s mentality at the moment.

Eriksen has been heavily linked with a move away from Spurs in recent weeks and with the transfer window still open in a number of European countries, his future in North London remains precarious.

He is out of contract and Spurs have tabled a new deal worth around £200,000 per week.

But ESPN claims that he has ‘no interest’ in extending his contract and such a mindset has stunned the Tottenham club, given that the three aforementioned clubs appear to be showing little interest in him.

The report adds that Real have gone cold on the idea of bringing him to Spain, while the transfer window in Italy closes on Friday, which makes a move to Turin seem unlikely.

Eriksen struggled on Saturday as Mauricio Pochettino’s side drew 2-2 away at Manchester City.
