Mauricio Pochettino says he is not sure about Christian Eriksen's future

Christian Eriksen may yet leave Spurs before the end of the summer transfer window

Christian Eriksen continues to be one of the protagonists of this summer's transfer window. After being linked with a last-minute exit amid interest from Manchester United, the Dane decided to continue at Tottenham Hotspur.

The midfielder, however, is into the last year of his contract with Spurs and with chances of an extension being minimal, he continues to be linked with a move to Spain with Real Madrid being one of the potential destinations before the transfer window closes for the rest of Europe.

On being asked about Eriksen's situation, the Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said,

"I don't know (if he will be at the club after the window),"

"My point is to help all of the players, my job is to support them all until they maybe decide to take a different way in their career."
