The Danish media may finally get their wish of actual Christian Eriksen to Barcelona articles from the Spanish media. For what seems like years, Danish newspapers have been pushing the idea despite there being no real reporting of it in Spain.
Perhaps with the hope of changing things, Ekstra Bladet this week asked Eriksen directly about Barcelona, and ended up with comments which suggested interest and a possible future Tottenham transfer.
“I still have a contract with Tottenham a few more years. There are always rumours about footballers… Barcelona are a great club and I don’t think there are many who say no to Barcelona.”
Those comments have naturally made their way to the Catalan press, where any player talking up Barcelona is very much welcome. Sport say the Tottenham player is a ‘rare’ talent and the type of player which Barcelona have neglected themselves of in recent season.
Taking Xavi and Andres Iniesta for granted, Sport journalist Javier Rodriguez Marzo believes that the time could be right to look at players like Eriksen.
It’s not huge backing, but it may spread, and perhaps that’s what the Danish media wanted all along. As for Tottenham, they probably won’t be quite so chuffed if ‘Eriksen to Barcelona’ becomes a thing.
