Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits they could lose Christian Eriksen this month.

Spurs have offered Eriksen a new deal worth £200,000-a-week but the Denmark midfielder has made it clear he is not even willing to get round the negotiating table.

Pochettino said: “You know more than me, things can still happen. It is not in my hands if something happens or not.

"Still we need to wait until September 2 and hope there are not too many changes or not too many problems for us.

“We need to assess the circumstances. We will see what happens between now and September 2. Like we can change our minds, a player can change his, so until September 2 it is difficult to tell you if this will be the bravest group of players.

“The team is still not settled how I expected it to be. We are still working in trying to make sure it is finished come September 2. That will be the moment to have a big conversation with the whole squad and settle the principle."
