ERIKSEN OFFERED £200k A WEEK TO STAY

- By SAMI MOKBEL

TOTTENHAM have renewed their efforts to persuade Christian Eriksen to sign a new contract worth more than double his current £4million salary. The club have so far failed to convince Eriksen, who has entered the final 12 months of his deal, to pen a new contract. He earns in the region of £80,000 a week — but Spurs have already offered to double his money with a deal worth around £160,000 a week. Tottenham’s latest attempts could push Eriksen’s wage closer to £200,000 a week. However, Eriksen’s advisers have informed Tottenham officials that the 27-year-old’s next contract will not be motivated by money. Real Madrid and Barcelona have expressed interest in the Dane. Meanwhile, on tour in Singapore, Mauricio Pochettino has confirmed he may have quit Tottenham had they won the Champions League. ‘Maybe if it was a different result after the final you can think, “OK, maybe this is a moment to step out of the club, leave the club and give them the possibilit­y of a new chapter with a new coaching staff”,’ he said. ‘But after the final I felt this was not great to finish like this.’ Additional reporting: MIKE KEEGAN
