Arsenal legend Ian Wright has claimed that Christian Eriksen could start something of a movement at Tottenham if he isn’t granted a move to a bigger club.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5Live’s Monday Night Club via Football London, the retired striker believes that Eriksen running down his contract at the club will trigger a movement within the team that will see more star names want to move on from Spurs for free once their deals expire.

Wright said: “He’s at a club, that I believe, he thinks isn’t the right level for him now, he wants to go to the next level. Unfortunately, with the way it’s gone with Spurs and the way they’ve paid the money, they’ve tried to raise it incrementally; ‘we’ll give you another deal and another deal’.

“I think we could see a lot now with Spurs where players say, ‘no, I’ll run this one down’. I think they’ve done well locking Harry (Kane) down but now we’re seeing something at Spurs which is quite worrying, when players like that are going ‘you know something, I’m going to run this down, I’m going to move on’.”

Eriksen, who has one year left on his current deal, has been the subject of a lot of interest over the past few weeks as the playmaker admitted to The Telegraph that he was keen on moving on from Spurs in search of a new challenge in football.
Although BBC Sport reported that Manchester United were in talks to sign the Danish international, Eriksen himself favours a move to La Liga, with AS also reporting that Real Madrid are interested in the Spurs playmaker.

Can't see Poch ever leaving us midseason.

If someone like Real wants him midseason they'd have to appoint an interim manager.

If he was to leave Mourinho you would be all over it. He's been flirting with us for a while, and always has good things to say about us. Not that I would want him but he would definitely want us.

This would not be a trend exclusive for Spurs, though.

He makes a good point, Wrighty, but he's wrong if he thinks it's only going to be an issue at Spurs.
Has he forgotten about Ramsey already?

In today's game of outrageous transfer fees I think players have now clicked that running down a contract means higher wages at the next club.
If clubs can get a player without the transfer fee of 50 to 60 million they can give that transfer fee in wages for the length of the contract.
Expect to see a lot more players running down contracts

Bit early to start the Poch leaving this season nonsense isn’t it? Give us a chance for the season to get going first! ?
I know you’re mucking about and I don’t see him going for at least another 2 seasons, but I get the impression that a lot on here think he’ll be our manager until he retires.

If the trophies start coming in why not? Is it likely, possibly not. But it is a possibility. Fergie and wenger saw out their careers with utd and arsenal. We were the only club that billy nich ever managed.

Don't get me wrong I'd love it if he did, I just cant see it personally.
He never seems to distance himself from the Real job whenever the subject comes up.
Im not sure trophies will have a lot of bearing, he even admitted he may well have quit if we'd won the CL.

"Wrighty" only just worked out the Bosman rule, huh?

Wrighty talks sense but in this case he is just pointing out the Bosman rule. Some players will always opt to let their contracts down - that's nothing new.

If Liverpool had anywhere near our injuries they'd be fucked. Just look at Alisson, a calf strain for a couple of weeks and it's front page news.

this injury without an experienced 3rd choice keeper could be a problem. Adrian only needs to pick up a virus and they have a kid in between the sticks for a game or 2

Fuck ‘em. We had three different keepers playing at the start of last season. Each of them played a few games.

Other players might look at it and think, hold on, I'm not going to keep turning down improved contracts either.

The facilities and stadium we have now can only help in that case as well.
