Mauricio Pochettino Will Give Christian Eriksen 'Freedom' Amid Contract Rumours

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said the team's star midfielder Christian Eriksen needs "freedom" when making a decision over his future.

The playmaker's deal with Spurs is set to expire at the end of the 2019-20 campaign, prompting some concerns among the Tottenham fanbase about losing the Denmark international.

Speaking about Eriksen at his press conference on Friday ahead of the match with Manchester United on Sunday, Pochettino said he trusts the midfielder to make the right decision and compared the 26-year-old to his pet dog, per Harry West of Goal.
