TOP STORY: PSG to beat Real Madrid for Eriksen
Paris Saint-Germain are plotting a huge move to snap up Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen from under the noses of Real Madrid, the Daily Mail are reporting.
The French champions are willing to completely revamp their midfield in order to land the 27-year-old and are prepared to part with World Cup winner Julian Draxler and £22.5m signing Leandro Paredes to accommodate their star man.
The Danish superstar has become frustrated at Spurs and recently turned down a new deal. Eriksen's current contract expires in the summer, which could tempt the Premier League side to cash in on the player man in January.
Perhaps more interestingly, current regulations allow Eriksen to sign a pre-contract agreement outside of England in January, which could tempt the midfielder to hold out until the end of the season. PSG are no strangers to splashing the cash, and Les Parisiens are believed to be preparing a lucrative to land their man.

"The big clubs can come calling but they'll get a short, swift reply! He's a player we want here at Aston Villa," Smith said ahead of his team's win over Brighton on Saturday. "His value shot up from the moment he stepped out onto the Villa Park pitch and showed just what a player he is."

OK then.

"Let's see what will happen. Success at Oranje will certainly help him, just like everyone else helps us. But again: I hope the trajectory continues up to and including the World Cup in Qatar."
Asked whether there was a specific Barcelona clause, Hoogma added: "Agreements have been made about that. They have to pay for that."

McGinn has since enjoyed a bright start to life in the Premier League, netting on the road at both Arsenal and Tottenham which has reignited interest from the Red Devils, who have frequently struggled for both depth and creativity in midfield.
