Spurs midfielder stays at club despite wanting ‘new challenge’Player has sympathy for Pochettino over transfer windowChristian Eriksen has said that he wished he was more in control of his future after missing out on a move to
Spain this summer. The
Tottenham midfielder said in June that he was ready for a new challenge but when the transfer window closed on Monday he was still a Spurs player.
The Dane, who is preparing to face Gibraltar and Georgia with the national team on Thursday and Sunday, said: “I wish I could decide myself, like you can do in the [computer game]
Football Manager, but I can’t do that sadly. I don’t think it was wrong [to say that it was time for a new challenge]. But this is football and you never know what happens in football. A lot of things play a part.”
