# Tottenham: Transfer insider makes Eriksen claim

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have an unmissable chance to bring back former fan favourite and [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) playmaker Christian Eriksen this summer, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye move…

[The Times,](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/antonio-conte-will-pocket-2-5m-bonus-if-spurs-reach-champions-league-0c2zmjv05) sharing news out of Spurs in the last few days, believe that there could be a real summer of change at Hotspur Way as manager Antonio Conte sets his sights on a major overhaul.

They claim as many as eight players could be offloaded by Conte, a contingent including Sergio Reguilón, Emerson Royal, Steven Bergwijn, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele.

Meanwhile, the Lilywhites head coach is thought to be targeting [six major signings](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/antonio-conte-will-pocket-2-5m-bonus-if-spurs-reach-champions-league-0c2zmjv05) in three defenders, a midfielder and a forward.

The likes of Eriksen and Leicester City playmaker Youri Tielemans are[thought to be on the radar](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/antonio-conte-will-pocket-2-5m-bonus-if-spurs-reach-champions-league-0c2zmjv05)but much could hinder on their final push for a Champions League qualification place.

### The Latest: Jones makes claim…

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88009245-tottenham-cant-turn-down-opportunity-to-sign-111-cap-star-at-hotspur-way), journalist Jones say Spurs have an unmissable chance to sign Eriksen this summer given his soon-to-be free agent status.

He explained:

*“There’s a general rule in football that is don’t go back, but in this sense Eriksen can be a rule break because he’s ridiculous and this isn’t your normal situation that has opened up.*

*“Eriksen being available as a free agent is an opportunity you simply can’t turn down.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done…

The 30-year-old’s fairy-tale return to the grass after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 has been nothing short of sublime.

According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/189/Show/England-Brentford), he has stood out as Thomas Frank’s main man since joining in January – averaging the most key passes in the final third and best match rating per 90.

Sealing a sensational return for Eriksen could be a brilliant move by Spurs and one which would gift Conte more creativity in his starting eleven.

Already hailed as a [‘superstar’](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/pontus-jansson-christian-eriksen-brentford-b987488.html) by teammate Pontus Jansson, this move could certainly be on to watch for supporters.
