Since the start of last season, no midfielder has created more chances than Christian Eriksen for a top six side.In scoring and assisting, only David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne have him beat.

Yet Tottenham are in danger of losing the Dane, whose £70,000-a-week con- tract expires at the end of next season,because of a debate over what he is worth.

Harry Kane is on £200,000 a week after Spurs smashed their pay structure to tie him down until 2024. Dele Alli is on £150,000, also until 2024.

Eriksen is equally as important.At 26 years old, he may not have even hit his prime yet.

Barcelona and Real Madrid are among those keeping tabs on his situation, showing how highly he is rated by Europe’s best.

Since August 2017, Eriksen has been involved in 22 goals (scoring 10, assisting 12) while taking home his £70,000 a week pay packet.
