Tottenham ace Christian Eriksen admits he was rejected by Capital One Cup final opponents Chelsea.

Eriksen trained with Chelsea as a 14 year-old, but the Blues thought the boy "too weak", according to his father.

He told the Daily Mail: "England was not my first choice at that age.

"I enjoyed myself but it was too big a step at that time. In England you can't enter the training ground without permission whereas in Denmark you are free to go in. Ajax was a lot closer to home and it meant my mum could come over for my first month. It was an easy decision."
