Bayern have been linked with a move for Eriksen, but they’re also in contention to sign Bayer Leverkusen forward Kai Havertz, who is up for the Golden Boy award.
And according to Matthaus, Bayern should go for the youngster instead of Eriksen because he isn’t quick enough and Philippe Coutinho has been outstanding for the German champions.
"I’ve been following the player for a long time and so far in 2019 he has disappointed me,” Matthaus told Sport1.
“A transfer to FC Bayern wouldn’t make sense in my view, and would be very surprising.

“If he’s not enough for Tottenham, he’s not good enough for Bayern. Uli Hoeness has also said before that Bayern doesn’t need any substitutes.
“Eriksen is a fine technician, a typical No.10, but he’s too slow and Niko Kovac likes fast players.
“In my view, Eriksen isn’t a player who can make the difference at the highest level. This coming summer, they should instead concentrate completely on the transfer of Kai Havertz.

“They also still have Philippe Coutinho, too, who plays outstandingly as a 10.
“You also can’t forget Thomas Müller, who can play every offensive position and shouldn’t be let go.
“I stand by my opinion: Eriksen makes no sense to me.”
