Christian Eriksen demanding huge Spurs pay-hike

Christian Eriksen is demanding a huge pay-hike at Tottenham.

The Sun says he is in negotiations over a massive pay hike from his relatively modest £32,000 a-week to rival some of the Premier League's top earners.

The brilliant Denmark international is apparently after a whopping £150,000-a-week, with his agent starting talks at the extreme end of the scale.

But the playmaker has every right to haggle with the likes of London rivals West Ham and Crystal Palace paying Dimitri Payet and Christian Benteke £120,000 a-week respectively.

Manager Mauricio Pochettino said: “He is very happy here and we are happy with him and we will see what happens in the next few weeks.

“He has two more years of his contract and it is only a question of time before he agrees a new contract."
