Eriksen ‘suggested’ two players to Tottenham

Christian Eriksen is believed to have ‘suggested’ the names of Matthijs de Light and Frenkie de Jong to Mauricio Pochettino, according to Mundo Deportivo. Ajax star duo are on the radar of top European clubs and these sides will compete against each other for their signatures. The Eredivisie side’s sporting director Marc Overmars is unwilling to negotiate now because he is aware the two can be auctioned next summer. Eriksen knows them from his time at Ajax, it’s claimed, and the duo were in the academy when the 26-year-old was playing for the Amsterdam-based club’s first team.
