Atletico Madrid will attempt to sign Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen on a pre-contract in January, say reports.

Christian Eriksen

The Denmark international is in the final year of his deal with the Premier League club and is free to agree a deal to leave ahead of the 2020/21 campaign in the New Year.

He said earlier in the summer that he was ready for “a new adventure” but failed to secure a move away from Spurs before transfer deadline day.

He is understood to have turned down an extension worth £200,000-per-week at Tottenham and favours a move to Atletico Madrid’s domestic rivals Barcelona or Real Madrid.
