  • Spurs were quick to move for Eriksen, who had attracted the interest of many teams around Europe.



    "I talked a little bit with the manager but I had more to do with the chairman and the director Baldini," Eriksen said. "They were they guys who really had the right words.



    "The first contact was with my agent and then my agent talked to me and I said, 'Go on, I really want to hear what they have got to say'.



    "The day after my agent was (in London) to look around and see everything and talk with the big men, then the day after, they all went to Amsterdam to negotiate with Ajax. The next day, I was here for a medical. It went really quick. Just four days.



    "It really impressed me that they wanted it so badly and wanted to do it so quickly."
