The Denmark international has been routinely linked with Real Madrid, and with just a year left on his current contract, Spurs risk losing him for free next summer.
The 27-year-old has refused to sign a new improved deal that would more than double his current £70,000-a-week wages, and a summer exit is almost certain after he confirmed he wants out.
Eriksen’s announcement has been met with mixed reactions by Spurs fans, who feared the worst all along, and here is how some of them responded to the news on Twitter:
Really hope we sell Eriksen, don’t want any players that aren’t committed to club and to be honest I won’t be heartbroken

I’m glad Eriksen wants to leave.
