As per London World and journalist Rahman Osman, there has been an update on Tottenham Hotspur's pursuit of former star playmaker Christian Eriksen.

The Lowdown: Spurs eye move...

Spurs head coach Antonio Conte and transfer chief Fabio Paratici, after their summit in Italy, have already been very busy before the summer market has even opened.

Both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster have arrived at Hotspur Way on Bosman deals with the Lilywhites already sealing two signings ahead of Conte's first full Premier League season in charge.

The north Londoners are reportedly eyeing another potential free agent swoop for ex-favourite Eriksen, but it won't be easy, with the Brentford ace attracting plenty of interest.

The Latest: Tottenham 'hot on his heels'...

Sharing an update, London World explain that Tottenham are 'hot on his heels' amid the competition with Conte 'looking to build a side that can compete both in Europe and the Champions League'.

As Paratici and co attempt to sign Eriksen, the report also explains that Brentford supporters 'are really on the edge' given their love for the 30-year-old and would love to have him for another season.

The Verdict: Time to pounce...

Finishing 2021/2022 as the Bees' best-performing player by average match rating, Denmark's international legend also managed the most key passes per 90 for them in the final third (WhoScored).

Described as 'amazing' by Conte himself, it' clear the £158,000-per-week star still has what it takes to be a real asset for the Italian at Spurs.

On a possible Bosman deal, a move for Eriksen really feels like a low-risk one and no-brainer for Paratici.
