Christian Eriksen

[FantasyIreland]

I think Isco might cushion this blow.....!

Eriksen is class. 2nd choice to Isco by all accounts.
It's a big mistake if Isco goes to Real and this lad doesn't come to us.

I thought Eriksen had gone to Dortmund, but Just found this so clearly he hasn't. if the Isco deal doesn't happen we can still get this guy. (I'd like both but Eriksen is my prefered choice as he is also a midfield free kick specialist - something we desperately need).

The BVB chief denied suggestions that his side had completed a deal for the Aajax attacker but reiterated interest in Kevin De Bruyne

Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has reacted with "astonishment" at suggestions that a deal has been completed to sign Christian Eriksen from Ajax.

The Champions League runners-up are on the look-out for a replacement to Bayern Munich-bound Mario Gotze, who is leaving for a fee of €37 million this summer.

Reports have claimed the Bundesliga outfit are on the verge of signing the Danish attacker, but Zorc has denied such rumours but reiterated interest in Chelsea midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, who impressed on a loan spell at Werder Bremen in 2012-13.

"I've read [the Eriksen rumours] with astonishment as well," the 50-year-old told Ruhr Nachrichten, adding: "However, the player [De Bruyne] wants to join us."

Meanwhile, Adam Maher has been linked as a possible successor for Eriksen at Ajax but the club's technical director Earnest Stewart confirmed the Dutch giants have not made an enquiry about the player yet.

"Ajax did not contact us so nothing is going on", Stewart told RTV Noord-Holland. "There's no club who have confirmed their interest. Adam still has a two-year contract with us."

Eriksen, 21, scored 10 goals and notched 13 assists in the Eredivisie this season just gone and has been heavily linked with leaving Netherlands for Germany in the summer.

De Bruyne, similarly, has been linked with a permanent stay in the Bundesliga, although Jose Mourinho is believed to be keen to keep hold of the Bayer Leverkusen-linked starlet.

I've read numerous reports he signed for 10m euro.

I know Spurs were taking a keen look at him.

I did too NH - but it isn't so apparently.

And he would love to play for us (or PSG) according to this article on April 23rd. Quotes and everything.

I remember when he criticised us.

He's obviously keen on decent wages and a club on the up, sound replacement for an outgoing Nasri but we need a left sides player. Arda Turan would be immense for us, truly, truly great.

As Eriksen hasn't gone to Dortmund, and Tevez is probably on his way, I think Eriksen is lined up to replace him.
Two footed, great speed, best defender up the pitch that I've seen in CL games involving City (his pressing was phenomenal - even better than the Dortmund players). And a great free kick specialist to boot.

Personally I've never been impressed by this guy when I've watched Ajax or Denmark and he is nowhere near Nasri and Silva. Let some other mugs buy him.

Eriksen is top drawer and would be a fantastic signing, even more so for the sort of fee being bandied about. If we miss out on Isco, he'd be my choice all day long.
