Tottenham eye Eriksen replacement with January transfer offer for Roma’s £51m-rated midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini
TOTTENHAM have reportedly earmarked Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini as Christian Eriksen's replacement.
The Dane is out of contract with Spurs at the end of the season and looks set to leave on a free.
Barcelona, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain have all been linked with snapping up the 27-year-old.
And according to Football Italia, £51million-rated Pellegrini is the man tasked with replacing Eriksen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
But Spurs will have some negotiating to do - not only will Italian side Roma be desperate to cling on to him, but the player himself sees a future with the Giallorossi.
The 23-year-old is only just back in training after recovering from a metatarsal injury.
Eriksen has flitted in and out of the Spurs starting XI - and this has obviously been linked to his contract situation.
ZIYECH AN OPTION TOO
But the player himself believes the two aren't linked.
Speaking to to Danish news-site BT, as reported by Sport Witness, Eriksen said: "I feel 100 per cent that Tottenham has complete confidence in me.
"There is not that big a difference, except that I play a little less this year.
"I don't feel there is a connection between my contract situation and the fact that I haven't played as many matches."
SunSport reported another option for boss Mauricio Pochettino is Ajax man Hakim Ziyech.
According to 90min they already have a list of players to fill the void, with the 26-year-old Moroccan international “high on their wish list”.
