Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has revealed he turned down a move to Chelsea when he was 16. The Danish playmaker is convinced there was a greater chance he would fail rather than succeed if he'd moved to Stamford Bridge as a youngster.
Eriksen told Danish publication Fyens (h/t MailOnline's Jonathan Spencer) why he turned down Tottenham's London rivals: "If I had chosen Chelsea, then my situation today would be completely different. I'm sure. Of course you never say never, because I would have been 100 percent into it, if I had chosen it.
