Barcelona weigh up move for Tottenham midfielder Eriksen

Barcelona are weighing up a move for Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.

El Mundo Deportivo says Barca are seeking a midfield addition and have Eriksen on their radar.

The midfielder is keen, though wants playing guarantees before entering serious discussions with Barca.

The 26 year-old has contract until 2020, though has ambitions beyond Spurs according to former agent Bayrum Tutumlu.

Tutumlu revealed earlier this year: "I was invited by Christian Eriksen to London in September and there he asked me what he needed to do to get to a bigger club. I told him that a bigger club wants him.

"When I visited Barcelona in May with my advisor Evren Sahin and Bröndby's owner, Jan Bech Andersen, Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu said that Christian Eriksen is the next big player from Denmark after Michael Laudrup. So I told Eriksen that Barcelona wants him.

"I also told Christian Eriksen that Barcelona is watching more things when buying a player, not just his football qualities. And they ended up buying (Philippe) Coutinho instead."
