# Tottenham fans take to Twitter to call against Bale – Eriksen swap deal

**There is no hiding the fact that Christian Eriksen is a Real Madrid target. The Danish midfielder has been one of the best players in both the Premier League and the world for the last few seasons and interest from the best is inevitable. However, as Los Blancos consider how to lure him to Madrid, *[Marca](https://www.marca.com/en/football/real-madrid/2019/02/20/5c6d6521e2704ed11f8b463b.html)* claim a Gareth Bale loan deal is on the cards.**

The article claims that whilst Manchester United, Chelsea and Spurs are the clubs who hold an interest in Bale, Real Madrid are more interested in letting the Welshman leave for either of the two London clubs. At Chelsea, there’s Eden Hazard whilst Tottenham have Eriksen, who are both players the Spanish giants want. Although Chelsea’s recent transfer embargo may have given Tottenham the lead.

Whilst this all sounds peachy, the fans don’t want to lose their Danish magician, even if it means bringing back one of White Hart Lane’s greatest players of recent years. The Welshman’s exit this summer is looking more and more likely seeing as he’s lost his place in the Madrid squad to the 18-year-old Vinicius Junior, and Tottenham fans would love to welcome him back, but would never do so if it meant seeing the back of Eriksen.

You can read the Lilywhites’ verdict on the touted part exchange deal here:

> Love Bale but Eriksen is in form and plays whereas Bale is not in form and always injured and we would then still have to replace Eriksen because Bale is a winger and not a playmaker. Makes 0 sense for Spurs. Bale & Isco for Eriksen maybe.

Tottenham fans are all pretty clear on where they stand on this deal and whilst they’d love to welcome Bale they won’t do so if it means losing Eriksen.
