Michael Dawson slams Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy for not managing to land the 27-year-old

Former Spurs captain Michael Dawson claims he cannot believe Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy failed to tie up Christian Eriksen’s contract when offering deals to Harry Kane and Dele Alli last year. Eriksen is expected to depart from Tottenham in the near future, as his contract with Spurs expires next summer and lately, he has been strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid. In an interview with Sporting Life, Dawson said:  “Christian Eriksen, for the last two seasons, has been one of the best players in the Premier League. In the top-ten players for me because he’s a creator. He didn’t hit the form he set at the end of last season and he hasn’t this season with the things going on like with the contract – only he knows that. If he gets offered all this money, and that’s what Spurs will struggle with, teams will want their players and people can pay more. So two years ago, why didn’t they offer Eriksen a mega-deal when they offered them to Harry Kane and Dele Alli? Give him what he wants because he was a big player and now he’s not playing to the heights that he has set.” Kane signed a new contract in the summer of 2018, before Alli agreed on new terms in October 2018. But Eriksen was not handed a deal, meaning he could leave on a free.
