Pochettino admitted on Tuesday he is unable to say whether Eriksen will remain at the North London club. 

The playmaker was crucial to Spurs Premier League and Champions League ambitions last season, though admitted following defeat in the Madrid final by Liverpool that he was ‘ready to try something new.’

Speaking on the situation for the first time since, Pochettino has revealed plenty of teams are interesting in signing the 27-year-old.  

‘I hope he will [stay],’ Pochettino told reporters.

‘I think he is a great player, Christian. One of the biggest talents in football. After five years working with him, I am sure in the way that he plays, and I hope so, yes.’

‘But you know, there is a lot of interest. I hope yes, but I don’t know what is going to happen with that.’

Real Madrid and a host of other European heavyweights were put on red alert when Eriksen hinted at a departure in June. 

The Danish playmaker has a year left on his contract. As the season wore on Spurs became increasingly resigned to losing Eriksen and had begun considering replacements, including Leicester’s James Maddison, Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo and Giovani Lo Celso of Real Betis.
