Christian Eriksen claims uncertainty about future isn’t reason for Tottenham’s form
Tottenham have been poor this season and there was no hiding that against Brighton at the weekend. We were humbled 3-0 by the Seagulls and had lost 7-2 to Bayern Munich at home in midweek.
Mauricio Pochettino had spoken about his players having different agendas, and the Argentine expected Christian Eriksen to leave in the summer (h/t Evening Standard).
However, the Dane is still at the club while Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld are also free agents at the end of the season.
Danny Rose, Serge Aurier and Victor Wanyama were also almost sold in the summer (h/t Evening Standard), yet the trio remained and has played in some of the games this season.
Eriksen isn’t interested in signing a new deal with the club but claims the uncertainty regarding the future of the players isn’t the reason for Spurs’ form. The Dane spoke to Ekstra Bladet while on national duty (h/t Evening Standard):
“It doesn’t matter at all. Everyone is professional and in all clubs there is talk of players going away.
“That side of the matter has no bearing on how we have performed so far this season.
“If I, as a football player, took all the rumours to me, I would float on a cloud. But I know that it can’t all be true. It does not affect me what is written.”
Eriksen’s form has been below par this season
While the Dane makes a good point, his form has been well below par for Spurs this campaign.
The 27-year-old has just one goal and an assist this season and is a free agent at the end of the campaign. The players need to do their bit after a slow start and have a few months before the January window opens.

It will be interesting to see what we do with the players once the window opens. However, we need to start winning games after the international break.
