# “Let him go” – These Spurs fans aren’t happy with Christian Eriksen

“Sell Eriksen” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans want their club to sell Christian Eriksen – after a [poor display](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1158047337320714241) against Inter Milan.

The Danish international missed a [crucial penalty](https://talksport.com/football/582285/tottenham-lose-penalties-inter-milan-mauricio-pochettino-dele-alli/) in Spurs’ final pre-season match – and many fans are now questioning [Eriksen’s desire](https://twitter.com/SpursOfficial/status/1158047337320714241) to play for the club.

Earlier in the summer, the 28-year-old did an interview in which he revealed his thirst to have a [new challenge](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/05/tottenham-christian-eriksen-says-he-is-ready-for-a-new-challenge).

So far, a move has not materialised for Eriksen – and Daniel Levy supposedly wants upwards of £80m for the former Ajax man.

Eriksen has had a superb career at Spurs making [277 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) and scoring [66 goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) and also providing [86 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) – but it seems that his [poor attitude](https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Article/Transferts-paul-pogba-reste-dans-le-viseur-du-real-madrid-mais-le-dossier-est-complique/1029666?hootPostID=9b49fff578833a800a45691a7667a7e6) has turned a lot of Tottenham fans against him.

See the best of the reaction below.

Many Spurs fans are angry at Eriksen because he is not showing the desire required to play for the club – the fact he has suggested he needs a [new challenge](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/05/tottenham-christian-eriksen-says-he-is-ready-for-a-new-challenge), appears to have not worked in his favour.

This has led to a lot of Spurs fans demanding that Eriksen be sold – if he doesn’t want to play for them then he should leave, they only want players who are committed to the club.

> Eriksen is mentally scarred from this failed move, but maybe it's his nonchalant attitude that makes the likes of Madrid think twice.

There are others, however, who appear more disappointed than angry – and they think it is a shame that Eriksen’s Spurs career could end this way.
