Tottenham’s hopes of keeping Christian Eriksen have improved as Real Madrid will reportedly focus their attentions on signing Paul Pogba and Eden Hazard instead.
The 27-year-old playmaker has one year left on a contract that earns him a reported £70,000-a-week.

Eriksen, who has a year left on his contract, could remain at Tottenham rather than move to Real Madrid
Real do not want to push to sign Eriksen because of their reluctance to negotiate with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy, The Times say.
It is thought their experience of dealing with him when signing Gareth Bale in 2013 is still fresh in the mind. Bale eventually moved on transfer deadline day for a record £85million despite Real opening talks with Tottenham months earlier.

Eriksen is valued at about £60m, but it’s thought signing Hazard and Pogba from Chelsea and Manchester United respectively could cost more than £200m.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is hopeful the two parties can open discussions on a new contract in the summer.
“I hope and wish Christian can be with us in the future,†he said after Eriksen’s goal earned Spurs a 1-0 win against Brighton to strengthen their grip on third place.
“I think Christian and us, we are so open to talk and we will see what happens. It’s a situation that’s a very special one and Christian is a special person. The timing for him or for the club to be agreeing something is maybe different to another player.
