Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen has become one of the most sought-after footballers in Europe after some scintillating performances for the North Londoners. Recent reports have suggested that he's a high priority target for Real Madrid as the Danish superstar has refused to sign a new contract with Spurs, so far.

Now, however, reports from Talksport claim that Los Blancos are set to face "fierce competition" for the midfielder, with European giants like Barcelona and Chelsea, believed to be extremely keen on signing the 26-year-old as well.

Eriksen only has 18 months left on his current contract at Tottenham, and a source close to the player reportedly said that he was unlikely to sign a new contract. He also said:

“It’s hard to name just one particular top-level club who are keeping a close eye on him, because there are sides from England, Spain, Italy and Germany.”
