Christian Eriksen sought out a top agent to ask how he could get a move to “a bigger club”.

Eriksen has been in fine form for Tottenham this season, earning a place in the PFA Premier League Team of the Year.

The Dane has been linked with a number of clubs in recent months, including Manchester United and Barcelona.

According to Bayram Tutumlu, agent of former Swansea manager Michael Laudrup, Eriksen invited him to his house to discuss transfer matters.

“Christian Eriksen invited me to his house in London in September and asked me what he needs to do to get to a bigger club,” Tutumlu told Danish newspaper BT.

“I told him that a really big club wanted him.

“When I visited Barcelona with my adviser Evren Sahin and Brondby’s owner Jan Bech Andersen, the Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu told us that Eriksen was going to become the next big player in Denmark after Michael Laudrup.”
