The Tottenham Hotspur star has been linked away recently.
Steve Nicol has told ESPN that he believes Christian Eriksen will wind up staying at Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
Speculation is rife that the 24-year-old may end up leaving Spurs this month as The Telegraph report that him and Spurs reached an impasse over contract negotiations.
The Danish playmaker is reportedly seeking a new deal worth some £150,000 per week.
Gazzetta World reported last week that Italian champions Juventus are prepared to offer him those figures in an effort to lure him to Turin.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino said last week via Fox Sports that he expected Eriksen – whose current deal runs out in 2018 – to sign a new contract.
And Nicol also expects the former Ajax starlet to stay.
He told ESPN: “Yeah I think he eventually will sign [a new deal]. When you reject a contract offer, thinking you should be getting more because I’m assuming that’s what the problem is, then you better have a good season this year.”
With what’s been going on, Spurs fans might’ve been a tad worried by Eriksen’s performance in Saturday’s win over Crystal Palace.
He was some way below his best against the Eagles in a display which prompted suggestions on Twitter that he had other things – or other clubs – on his mind.
