Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino says he would love to have Christian Eriksen for a longer period but insists he doesn’t have any control over his future.
Talks over a new deal have been stalled and the Danish playmaker will have only a year left after the completion of the ongoing season. Eriksen has been part of the core set up at the North London club and has been pretty pivotal in Spurs’ amazing campaign this term.
Pochettino has had a major influence at the club for the last few seasons and has transformed Spurs into one of the European heavyweights. Eriksen has been linked with a number of clubs but he is unlikely to leave the club any time soon.
Pochettino said, “No news is good news. Who knows? I am not a person who suffers too much in this type of situation, because football is dynamic.
“Football is about interests that sometimes as a manager we cannot manage. It depends on many things. Different parties have interests.
“Of course Christian Eriksen is so important for us and you would like to have this kind of player with you. But it’s a negotiation with different parties, with different interests.
“It would be fantastic if Christian Eriksen committed to the club for a long time. If not, it’s his right to do what he wants to do.”
