However, he went public with his desire to leave Tottenham ahead of the current season and faced a lot of flak for that decision. In the recent BBC Sport interview, Christian Eriksen admitted that he felt that he was targeted because of that interview. However, he added that he did not regret doing it. Tottenham fans still hold the Danish midfielder close to their hearts but will his recent comments change that equation?
