However the 24-year-old has turned down the opportunity to extend his deal although it is believed he is still keen to put pen-to-paper.

According to the Evening Standard, Eriksen wants to be one of the top earners alongside the likes of Hugo Lloris and Erik Lamela.

Lloris is currently earning around £80,000-a-week whilst midfielder Lamela is the club’s second highest earner on £75,000.

The playmaker currently earns in the region of £30,000-a-week and has two-years left on his deal.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino eyes Eriksen as an integral part of his first team plans as he aims to challenge for the Premier League title this season.

As one of the most talented dead ball specialists in the Premier League, Eriksen has been an inspired signing after joining from Ajax for £11million in 2013.

It is expected that Tottenham will return with a new, improved offer.
