Tottenham welcome Ajax to their new stadium tomorrow night for the first leg of their Champions League semi-final. It will represent Spurs’ biggest European night for many years.

The Dutch giants have already knocked out Real Madrid and Juventus in this season’s competition, capturing the hearts of football fans everywhere with their attacking style of football.

There is still lots to play for during 2018/19 for Mauricio Pochettino’s men, although it won’t be long before attentions turn towards the next campaign.

Having not signed a player for two transfer windows the summer looks set to be massive for Spurs as they aim to challenge for honours once again.

One man who might not be with Spurs is Christian Eriksen. The Dane has attracted interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United previously, with the Evening Standard reporting that he could be sold for £60 million.

He is out of contract in the summer of 2020 and cashing on looks like a viable thing to do for Spurs this summer.

Pochettino might get the opportunity to look at a potential replacement for Eriksen in the coming weeks, in the form of Ajax attacking midfielder Donny van de Beek.

The 22-year-old has been in sensational form this season for the Dutch outfit. His 15 goals and 11 assists will undoubtedly have teams interested in signing him this summer.

According to Calciomercato, the youngster will be available for £45 million this summer and Spurs would secure a desperately good replacement for Eriksen should they swoop.

The Dutchman is five years the junior of the current Spurs man and if they can sign the 22-year-old they would secure one of football’s brightest prospects ahead of his very best years.
