Mauricio Pochettino says it is”nearly impossible” the Christian Eriksen will leave Tottenham ahead of the transfer window closes in Europe on Monday.
The midfielder, that has been linked with Real Madrid, scored in a 2-2 draw and started his second match of the season at Arsenal.

“I’m optimistic, joyful. What is significant is to all be on precisely the identical page, using the team.
“That players have a very clear idea where we would like to arrive and the way we would like to go, clear thoughts such as today, Christian and various players. (On Monday) they’re only likely to be centered on Tottenham, perhaps not on thinking about various things which make management so hard.”
