PSG have confirmed their interest in signing Tottenham star Christian Eriksen, having been impressed by the playmaker’s performances since his switch to North London.

The French club’s boss Laurent Blanc admitted he was a fan of the Denmark International, who has been in fine form in recent weeks to help Spurs out of a slump with three wins in a row, easing the pressure that had started to grow on manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Blanc confirmed they were looking at Manchester United’s Angel Di Maria before he switched from Real Madrid but were unable to afford him and are now considering other options, with £11m signing Eriksen top of his list.

The 22 year-old has scored five goals in twelve appearances so far this season and has proven himself to be a key player when it comes to set pieces. During his time at previous club Ajax, in one-hundred-and-thirteen appearances he managed twenty-five goals.

Speaking to L’Equipe, Laurent Blanc said: “I see a great player in Eriksen. He was already strong at Ajax and has become even better in England. It would be nice if we could have him with us.”

Eriksen has been the outstanding signing from the summer of 2013 for Tottenham and is now likely to command a fee in excess of £30m.
