Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino blanked questions about Christian Eriksen today.

He refused to comment on speculation linking Eriksen with a move to Real Madrid, with Manchester United ending their interest in the midfielder as they believe he has his heart set on a move to Spain.

"It is not right to talk about personal situations," he said. "It is all rumours. We can not waste time talking about every single rumour.

"The players who are here, I am more than happy to have. Of course, we are at this point where European clubs have 20 days more, and I think that was a big mistake.

"I think we need to go back and change to operate in the same way. The Premier League cannot give this advantage to the European clubs. It can create a mess in clubs in England."
