Eriksen Movement supported
Danny Mills says Tottenham star Christian Eriksen is still trying to get away from the club this summer.
"It's interesting, [Paul Pogba’s agent] Mino [Raiola] said that Pogba was looking for a new company, or words to that effect, and that the world went crazy, "he told Football Insider.
"Eriksen came out and said it a long time ago, but the speculation around Eriksen seems almost to be null and void.
"I'm sure his team and agents are working behind the scenes on different options and situations, but Tottenham will have to be prepared, and chances are he'll leave.
"I would be surprised if he did not, the fact that he has declared publicly that he wants a new challenge, he must know that something is preparing.
"He must know that there is some sort of agreement on the table somewhere along the line. It would be naïve and a bit silly to say that you want a new challenge if you have nowhere to go. "
