“Well he is our most important player” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans have responded to the news that Christian Eriksen could become their joint highest wage earner.
A report from the Daily Mail claims that Spurs are still hopeful of keeping the Dane despite interest from Spain.
The 27-year-old supposedly turned down a move to Manchester United near the end of the transfer window because he has his heart set on a move to Spain – with both of Madrid’s major clubs interested.
Eriksen revealed after the Champions League final that he was considering a new challenge – and with just one-year left of his contract to run, he may decide to stay at Tottenham for this season then leave for nothing next summer.
Spurs though believe they can keep him – and many of their fans want him to stay.

These Tottenham fans recognise Eriksen as crucial to the side – and they are happy for him to become the joint top wage earner in the team.
Well no, that would put him equal with Kane. Both would be on £200k

Other Tottenham fans point out that this new contract would make Eriksen the joint top wage earner – and not as the tweet suggests their highest paid player.
