Eriksen has scored 66 goals and provided 86 assists in his 277 appearances for Tottenham since arriving from Ajax in 2013, recently helping them reach the Champions League Final.
However, he told Ekstra Bladet, as per The Guardian: “I feel that I am at a stage of my career where I would like to try something new.

However, he told Ekstra Bladet, as per The Guardian: “I feel that I am at a stage of my career where I would like to try something new.
“I have the deepest respect for everything that is happening at Tottenham and it would not be something negative to stay. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.
“I hope that something will be decided this summer. That is the plan. In football you never know when there could be a decision like that. It could be at any point.
“The best thing is always for it to happen quickly but in football things take time.”
Juve would be the only Italian side who could possibly afford the Dane, given he is reportedly valued close to €150m, but Real Madrid are thought to be the favourites…
“Real Madrid is a step up but then it would take Real Madrid picking up the phone and making contact with Tottenham and say that they want Christian. And that they haven’t done as far as I know.
“It all depends on Daniel Levy and there has to be another club too. Or I will sit down myself at the table and negotiate a new contract.
“You can’t set a date yourself. There aren’t many boxes that Tottenham don’t tick so if I have to move away, it would have to be a step up.”
Finally, the 27-year-old was asked whether he could sign a new contract with Spurs.
“That is difficult to say,” he replied.
“It depends on the possibilities. If there are no exciting offers why shouldn’t I stay at Tottenham? If I then sign a new contract depends on the conditions.”
The Bianconeri are tipped to bring in a big-name midfielder this summer and have already been linked with Paul Pogba and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.
