A replacement for Eriksen needed

TRANSFER TALK
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?

The world and his dog knows Clive suffers from serious eye damage and is unable to see well enough to check properly for typos - which is all they are for the most part.
Secondly, this isn't fake news - as it doesn't claim to be news at all. It's an opinion expressed. I would add that it's an opinion many of us look forward to reading as it's proven to be from a very reliable source over the years.
So, may I suggest that you crawl back under that rock you came from before you embarrass yourself further. MDB might actually be appropriate here. I expect you don't have any excuse.
@David M.
Do please read what it says before making unconnected comments. Nowhere does it quote Eriksen as saying he wants to leave. That's just lazy misinterpretation.
