Cristiano Ronaldo Eyeing Spurs Midfielder as Next Addition to Real Madrid's New Galacticos

Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid side were humbled on Wednesday night in a 3-1 defeat to Tottenham, the north Londoners handing Los Blancos their first Champions League group stage defeat since 2012.

Ronaldo is said to have been impressed by one Spurs player in particular; Danish playmaker, Christian Eriksen. According to notorious Spanish rumourmongers Don Balon, Ronaldo has asked Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to sign the Denmark international.

Eriksen scored the third and final goal in Spurs' resounding victory at Wembley as Mauricio Pochettino's side - assisted by Borussia Dortmund's failure to beat APOEL in consecutive games - secured their place in the next round of the competition.
