Report: Christian Eriksen has told Tottenham Hotspur that he will not be signing a new deal

According to Evening Standard, Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has told the North London club that he will not be signing a new deal as his current contract runs down.

Belgian centre-back Toby Alderweireld put pen to paper on a new three-and-half year deal today, while his fellow defender and international teammate Jan Vertonghen could follow suit after his friend’s decision.

Alderweireld, 31, was one of a number of senior players whose deals run to the end of the season, along with Vertonghen and Eriksen, and while his defensive partner is yet to say anything, the Dane has made up his mind despite head coach Jose Mourinho’s best efforts to convince him.
