Carragher: Spurs midfielder Eriksen not good enough for Real Madrid

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher says Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen should forget about a move to Real Madrid following a subdued performance during defeat at Anfield on Sunday.

Eriksen expressed his desire for a "new challenge" during the summer but ended up staying at the club, although his contract is due to expire next summer.

"Eriksen for me is a really good player for Tottenham , but he keeps getting talked about as this player who could play for Real Madrid. He's not good enough," said Carragher.

"If he's that good, he's got a year to go in his contract, you'd pay money for him. People keep saying maybe on a free transfer... you'd have anyone on a free transfer.

"This summer he wanted to go, he made it known, he said it publicly, and no one came in for him.

"I think Eriksen has been fantastic for Spurs but he's not better than Spurs. He might go to PSG, he might go to another club, but he won't make any of them better."
