The Express has reported that PSG are preparing a massive £100m bid for Tottenham star Christian Eriksen, and fans have flocked onto Twitter to respond.
The report claims that Eriksen still hasn’t signed his new contract extension and that PSG want to make a move for him before the end of the transfer window in Europe on August 31.
However, it also states that Pochettino has told Daniel Levy that he doesn’t want him sold as he woudln’t be able to buy a replacement until January.
The Premier League transfer window shut earlier than the rest of Europe – they can still sell players but can’t bring anyone in.
OPINION:
Tottenham fans have made it pretty clear where they stand on this. They can’t believe that Eriksen would be sold in this summer window, and also that if he was to be sold he would be worth far more than the £100million reported. One fan said it wouldn’t even buy a can of beer used by Eriksen. A couple of fans sent out a warning to Levy, with one saying he wouldn’t be stupid enough to sell Eriksen now. However, one said that the Tottenham chairman would face an all-out revolt if he did consider selling the player, while another said that it would prove that Levy doesn’t care about what happens on the pitch. We can’t see it happening. The early shutting of the UK transfer window only makes sense if the same date is applied everywhere else. All it means now is that Premier League teams will continue to have their best players linked with European clubs, without any means of replacing players if they go. It’s almost as stupid as the idea of selling one of your best players after the Premier League season has already started.

If Coutinho was £130 that makes Eriksen about £180m and that’s before Levy even gets involved so not even a chance.

£100m doesn’t even buy a used can of Carlsberg formerly owned by Cristian Eriksen

If Levy sells Eriksen before August 31st as the papers are spinning to fund completion of the stadium, it will prove once and for all he doesn’t care about what happens on the pitch. #THFC

May be an all out #THFC fan revolt if Levy sells Eriksen

I cannot bring myself to say how poor spurs would be without Eriksen.

Trust me with every thing that is going on today at spurs I don’t think Levy is stupid enough to sell a star player no matter how big the bid, he might consider a swap if someone could promise to finish the stadium in 2 weeks but we know that ain’t gonna happen!!!
