“I have the deepest respect for everything that is happening at Tottenham and it would not be something negative to stay.

“The best thing is always for it to happen quickly but in football things take time.”
Eriksen added that if no club decides to try and buy him, he’ll be happy to sign a new contract at Tottenham.
He’d also have to be offered the chance of moving to a club that’s a “step up”. He won’t be moving sideways.
The midfielder’s agent, Martin Schoots, added: “Last season there were three clubs – two English and one foreign – interested in paying a huge amount to Spurs.
“For the club it was than a no-go area and for Christian, not a must-have. I have the impression we are in a new situation now.”
