Juventus have been encouraged in their pursuit of Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Tuttosport says Juve see Eriksen as a more affordable midfield target than Manchester United star Paul Pogba.

And news that new contract talks have reached deadlock between Eriksen and Spurs have encouraged the Serie A giants.
