A Danish radio station got more than it bargained for when offering a VIP trip to watch Tottenham play Liverpool - thanks to Spurs ace Christian Eriksen.

The two hosts of radio show 'Danskerbingo' on DR P3 in Eriksen's homeland were offering the prize ahead of next month's Premier League clash at Anfield.

And Eriksen, identifying himself only as 'Christian', elected to call in.

However, according to Danish media outlet BT , that wasn't quite enough for the co-hosts, who immediately pursued his last name and his interest in the prize.

"Yes, even though my last name is Eriksen," replied the 85-cap Danish international on Thursday morning.

"Christian Eriksen, I know very little about football," followed the response.

"But I do know you are Christian Eriksen the national team player who plays for Liverpool," declared one host - much to the delight of his counterpart, laughing at his co-hosts error.

Spurs ace Eriksen, also saw the funny side, laughing himself and replying: "No, that's not right."

Soon it was clarified that Eriksen does indeed ply his trade in north London rather than Merseyside, allowing Eriksen to finally establish precisely why he had called.

"I thought I could throw a jersey in the pot," said the ex-Ajax man. "The winner gets my match shirt.

"I think, now it's just that match [as a prize], so the jersey is also from that match," added the Dane.

Eriksen, a vital member of Mauricio Pochettino's side, continues to be linked with a summer move away from Spurs.

The 26-year-old has made 257 appearances to date for the club, but has less than 18 months left on his contract and a move to La Liga, with Real Madrid , has been mooted.
