Dutch giants Ajax have confirmed that they have given Christian Eriksen permission to speak with Tottenham.
The Danish playmaker has been linked with Spurs for much of the summer transfer window and it looks as though the North London club will now fully go after his signature after Ajax gave the go-ahead.
"Yes, Levy was here and Eriksen has been given permission to speak to Tottenham," Ajax director of football Marc Overmars told De Telegraaf.
"There is no agreement yet until it's signed.
"Obviously, if it happens, we won't be happy at all to lose him but he only has a year left on his contract."
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy was in Amsterdam on Wednesday to further negotiate a deal that has Ajax wanting around £12million for Eriksen whilst Tottenham have so far offered £8m.
