Brentford have made him a contract offer that would make him the most expensive player in their history, while Manchester United also put forward a proposal.

While Eriksen plays for Denmark at the Nations League, clubs are waiting for his decision, and Harry Kane revealed their discussion was about having a uniform message for the human rights issues in Qatar.

The Spurs forward is quoted by Danish paper sport.tv2: “Christian Eriksen contacted me a couple of weeks ago.

“I already have a lot of contact with Hugo Lloris [Tottenham and France’s captain].

“And then the discussion was there about maybe doing something together.

“When we come to a decision about something that we want to do, then we will definitely share it.

“I think it is important to do it collectively. I feel it will help make it a little more of a standpoint and give it more impact.”

There have been concerns regarding the credibility of Qatar hosting the World Cup as homosexuality continues to be a illegal in the Gulf country.

There are reports that migrant workers have died building stadiums and other facilities have been exploited.
