Tottenham Hotspur legend Chris Waddle has insisted that Christian Eriksen is on borrowed time after the appointment of Jose Mourinho.
The Danish playmaker has been in and out of the Spurs team this season after refusing to sign a new contract with the club.
The 27-year-old can sign a pre-contract with any European club as early as January 1 with his current Tottenham deal up in the summer.
Similarly, Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld's contracts expire in the summer.
With Mourinho appointed, there has been some suggestions that the 'contract rebels' could be tempted to resign on fresh terms.
However, Waddle believes that Eriksen's style wouldn't fit with Mourinho anyway, so it's even more unlikely the Dane will stay beyond the summer.
Waddle told the Racing Post: “I’m not sure Mourinho and Eriksen is a great fit anyway. Eriksen has made it pretty clear he wants a move away from Tottenham and I can see Mourinho not picking him regularly.
"Mourinho demands total respect in the dressing room and will install a bit of fear in his players. He doesn’t suffer fools and he knows what he wants.
"And if players aren’t prepared to buy into that he’ll leave them out. Don’t get me wrong, Mourinho isn’t afraid of flair players, but an Eriksen would never be the cornerstone of his team.
