AVB is interested in the bringing Eriksen to White Hart Lane and has been a long term admirer of the Denmark international.
Ajax are beginning to feel resigned to losing him after the midfielder only has a year left on his contract. Ajax though will demand a fee in the region of 12million whereas Spurs are thought to have only offered 8milliom for the 21-year-old.
Ajax director of football Marc Overmars spoke about how Levy was there and how an offer has not yet been agreed between the two clubs. “Yes, Levy was here and Eriksen has been given permission to speak to Tottenham.”
“There is no agreement yet until it’s signed,” Overmars added.
“Obviously, if it happens, we won’t be happy at all to lose him but he only has a year left on his contract.”
Ajax signed Eriksen from Danish club Odense Boldklub in 2008 and he has since gone on to establish himself as one of the most promising young midfielders in Europe.
Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen, who used to play with the Dane at Ajax, thinks Spurs will be signing a top talent if the deal goes through.
“He is a good guy,” said Vertonghen, who moved from Ajax to Tottenham last summer. “I played with him for four years and he is a good player.”
