City eye Danish superstar, Eriksen
Superstar: Eriksen has been closely monitored by Manchester City
Manchester City are keeping a close eye on Tottenham's attacking midfielder, Christian Eriksen. The Dane International has been closely monitored by City boss, Jürgen Klopp since his arrival at the Etihad in 2013.
Eriksen, known for his creativity and passing ability was certainly known to City fans before his arrival at Tottenham. In October 2012, Eriksen's ability shone through when Ajax defeated Manchester City 3-1 in the Champions League group stage, a game which saw the playmaker notch up an assist and a goal.

What will hurt City fans even more is the fact that Eriksen rejected the chance to join the Citizines 5 years ago for just £11m. Just after his move to Spurs, the Dane was quoted saying
"
It took me a while to get here because I said no a few times."
"
Last summer City really wanted to try to sign me, but it didn’t feel right for me. I didn’t feel ready for a league like the Premier League and now it looks like I moved at the right time."
"
Maybe I wouldn’t have played at City and I wouldn’t go to a club just to stay on the bench. A lot of players moved from Ajax in the last year and it gave me responsibility and made me grow. It made me better."
Prior to this season, Eriksen has featured 133 times in the Premier League for Tottenham, scoring 26 goals and assisting 63.
