In a recent post on Twitter, the football.london journalist revealed that, despite Fabio Paratici having made contact with the attacking midfielder’s representatives two weeks ago, the Italian sporting director is yet to follow up these initial discussions concerning a return to north London with the Denmark international’s camp.

In his tweet, Gold said: “Here’s the latest update on the Christian Eriksen situation for you. Understand Spurs were last in contact with his camp two weeks ago but have not followed that up since.”

These returns saw the £23k-per-week talent average a rather breathtaking SofaScore match rating of 7.54, not only
