Former Tottenham star Anderton can't see Eriksen staying

Former Tottenham star Darren Anderton believes Christian Eriksen will leave this summer.

Anderton, however, believes his old side will be hard pressed to get the Dane to sign a new contract amid interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona.

He told Sporting Bet: “Tottenham have a near-impossible job of keeping Eriksen at Tottenham whether they win the Champions League or not.

“Eriksen is good enough to walk into any team in the world.

“He's a rare breed of player that can score as many goals as he can create. His passing and awareness are out of this world, he's world class.

“Once the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona declare an interest in him, it's going to be difficult for Tottenham to compete with them.

“At some point in a player's career they are going to want to play at one of those clubs, it's natural. He is a loyal guy, so it wouldn't surprise me if he does stay but it's far from a formality."
