Christian Eriksen set to miss out on La Liga move – but he still won’t discuss new Tottenham deal
Christian Eriksen’s hopes of sealing a move to La Liga this summer are fading, report the Daily Mirror.
Eriksen dismissed reported interest from Manchester United earlier this month because he wants to play his football in Spain.

The north Londoners have offered the former Ajax playmaker a new £200,000-a-week deal, but Eriksen’s representatives are not even willing to hold discussions with the club’s hierarchy.
