Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen has reportedly wanted to play for Real Madrid since he was a child, giving them the edge in the race for his signature.

Joining Real Madrid would represent a 'dream' move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen, according to reports.

Eriksen has emerged as a key target for the Spanish giants as part of a big summer overhaul at the Bernabeu, with his current contract in North London expiring next year.

Reports have claimed that Spurs will demand a world-record £200m sum for the Dane despite him having just 15 months remaining on his deal, but Daniel Levy is understood to be increasingly resigned to losing the playmaker.

The Express reports that Eriksen has wanted to play for Madrid since he was a child, giving them the edge over their transfer rivals for his signature.

Both Barcelona and Juventus have also been credited with an interest in the 27-year-old, but the player himself is thought to have his heart set on moving to the Spanish capital.

Eriksen joined Spurs in 2013 and has gone on to make 264 appearances for the club across all competitions, scoring 63 goals.
