A replacement for Eriksen needed


TRANSFER TALK

Christian-Eriksen-Spurs

Last summer it took a while to tie Danish international playmaker Christian Eriksen down to a new contract and the rumours I reported then were that he may only be at the club one more season.

I think it is safe to say that our season has delayed his departure amid real belief we can win a Premier League title and improve enough to mix it in Europe. His recent comments suggested he is ambitious and wants to play for a club winning things. If that is Tottenham so be it but it doesn't have to be.

That is no different from his stance last season, although it wasn't reported in the media, he didn't make the remarks he has made now.

Given that he may leave if we don't win things we have to have a backup plan, we have to have someone earmarked to take his place or someone already bought and integrated into our system to take his place.

It is a dilemma, you have to plan ahead yet Eriksen could still be here in a couple of years, he isn't in the situation of Kane who simply wants to stay at Spurs. Will Marcus Edwards still be at the club in a couple of years? Will he have developed enough to be first-team material, as he isn't at the moment?
