Latest Tottenham transfer news: £50m battle with Arsenal, Man United make Eriksen decision

The January transfer window is nearly upon us and, in just over a weeks time, the madness will once again begin for clubs around Europe.

For Tottenham, it will be the first opportunity that new boss Jose Mourinho has to splash the cash since his arrival in November.

Following a slow start to the season, Spurs are playing catch-up in the hunt to secure Champions League football again next season and new additions could provide the platform for a turnaround in the latter half of the campaign.

With that in mind, we have gathered some of the latest rumours floating around for you below.

Jose Mourinho: Harry Kane is fantastic

Tottenham target Upamecano

Arsenal and Tottenham are keeping tabs on RB Leipzig star Dayot Upamecano.

The two are set for a bidding war over RB Leipzig star defender, and Express Sport is reporting that the Gunners and Spurs are willing to meet Leipzig’s huge £50million valuation.

The 21-year-old joined the Bundesliga outfit in 2017 from fellow Red Bull club Salzburg and has since amassed a total of 94 appearances at the Red Bull Arena.

United’s Eriksen decision

Manchester United are prepared to wait until the summer to sign Christian Eriksen from Tottenham, the Telegraph reports.

United have been attributed with long-term interest in the Denmark international, who is free to discuss a pre-contractual agreement with clubs outside of England in the New Year ahead of the expiration of his deal in the summer.

However, United are keen to keep the creative midfielder within the Premier League but don’t want to pay a fee and, as such, will wait until the end of the season to complete a deal.

Spurs told to do everything to secure Eriksen

Ian Wright believes that Spurs must do everything they can to keep Christian Eriksen, or risk missing him when he is gone.

Eriksen has just six months left on his current Tottenham contract in North London, and will leave on a free transfer in the summer of 2020 if a deal isn’t completed.

“Eriksen came on and he started to produce the kind of football that you weren’t seeing in the first half,” Wright told Match of the Day.

“He got himself in positions, it’s the way the speed and the swiftness in which he changed the game. Eriksen, that little bit of quality, they are going to miss him if he’s not going to be around and they’ve got to do everything they can to keep him.”
