Exclusive: Eddie Howe set for face-to-face talks with Premier League playmaker

Eddie Howe looks set to hold face-to-face talks with Christian Eriksen next week.

Speaking exclusively to NUFCBlog.co.uk, Jacque Talbot – a correspondent at Football Transfers – has revealed that the Newcastle United boss values what the 30-year-old can offer both on and off the pitch, describing the Dane as a “huge dressing room presence.”

This comes after Talbot revealed earlier today that club representatives had met with Eriksen’s entourage on Monday to discuss a potential move to St James’ Park, however he’s now told us that a meeting with Howe has been scheduled for next week.

The former Tottenham playmaker is still contracted to Brentford, however he is expected to leave on a free transfer when his six-month deal expires at the end of the month, leaving him available on a free transfer.

Here’s what Talbot told us about the potential deal, confirming talks look set to take place between Howe and Eriksen in the coming days:

“Eddie Howe will meet up with Christian Eriksen next week for face-to-face talks following a preliminary discussion involving intermediaries on Monday.

“Eriksen is a huge dressing room presence as well as a highly skilled player, two things that appeal to the Newcastle United boss.

“We know how much onus Eddie Howe puts on persona, so it comes as know surprise to hear that there have been talks about bringing him in.

“It would be a remarkable signing.”

  1. He would be a great signing.

    Trouble with too many “big” players in the dressing room is it gets very crowded very quickly.
