Tottenham demand Asensio in any Real Madrid offer for Eriksen

Tottenham want Marco Asensio in any offer from Real Madrid for Christian Eriksen.

The Sun says Madrid are ready to offer £45million for the Danish star plus blossoming midfielder Dani Ceballos to seal the switch.

Spurs prefer a more experienced star than the 22-year-old in return and want to make Asensio part of the deal - even if it means him only coming on a season loan initially.

But Real boss Zinedine Zidane is not keen on letting the Spain star leave and has already rejected an approach from Juventus.

Asensio - who can also play in midfield - joined Madrid from Real Mallorca in 2015 and has made 44 appearances to go with his 22 caps for Spain.

If Madrid refuse to make him part of the deal, it could scupper any chance of Eriksen moving to La Liga this summer.
