Former Reds frontman Dean Saunders believes a playmaker being heavily linked with a move away from Tottenham could be a shrewd addition at Anfield <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Christian Eriksen could \u201cslot into Liverpool\u2019s team\u201d, says Dean Saunders, with the Reds considered to be in need of someone that can make them \u201cmore productive\u201d.<\/p>\n
The general consensus is that Jurgen Klopp would welcome another playmaker onto his books.<\/p>\n
A move to bring Philippe Coutinho back to Anfield from Barcelona has been mooted, but there has been a mixed response to reports linking the Champions League winners with the Brazil international.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Saunders believes Liverpool could set their sights closer to home if looking to land a proven creative influence, with Danish star Eriksen being heavily linked with a switch away from Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has conceded that a lot of interest is being shown in a player entering the final year of his contract, and it could be that a transfer scramble is sparked at some stage.<\/p>\n
Former Reds striker Saunders told talkSPORT when quizzed on whether Liverpool will spend their budget this summer and who they might target: \u201c[They could] spend it maybe\u2026 I think Eriksen could slot into Liverpool\u2019s team; somebody like Eriksen.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat type of player who will make their midfield a bit more productive.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eriksen, who is said to be registering on the recruitment radar of Madrid rivals Real and Atletico, has admitted that he could be tempted to take on a new challenge this summer.<\/p>\n
He has told Ekstra Bladet on his future plans: \u201cI feel that I am a place in my career where I might want to try something new.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have the wildest and deepest respect for everything that has happened at Tottenham \u2013 I will not be negative. But I have also said that I would like to try something new.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope there will be a resolution during the summer. That\u2019s the plan.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn football you do not know when a resolution will happen. It can happen anytime. Everyone wants the best to it to happen as soon as possible, but in football takes things time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Eriksen has been with Tottenham since 2013, taking in 277 appearances for the club and recording 66 goals \u2013 along with a healthy number of assists.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
