Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for PSG attacking midfielder Julian Draxler this summer amid uncertainty over Christian Eriksen's future, per L'Equipe.

The French club are looking to raise funds in order to comply with financial fair play regulations.

And there is a claim that Draxler could move for €40m in the coming month, with Spurs making early enquiries as to a move. His contract does not expire until 2021 and he made a total of 46 appearances in all competitions in 2018/19, scoring five goals and providing 12 assists.

Eriksen, of course, has expressed his desire to leave Spurs this summer and potentially make a "step up" with a transfer.

He has been heavily linked with Real Madrid in recent months and it appears inevitable that he will depart the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before the first game of the 2019/20 season.

But would Draxler, who won the World Cup with Germany in 2014, be an adequate replacement for Mauricio Pochettino's men?

Football FanCast's writers give their verdicts below!

Jack Saville

"Draxler could be a valuable asset at Tottenham but he's far from an adequate replacement for Eriksen. The Dane is integral to Pochettino's system and Draxler doesn't possess the level of creative responsibility to become the beating heart of the north London side's midfield. Daniel Levy needs to aim higher in his search for Eriksen's replacement as nothing less than world class will suffice."

Billy Meyers

"For all the early potential he showed, Draxler has never made shockwaves at PSG due to a crippling lack of consistency. For all the stick he gets from Spurs fans, Eriksen is actually fairly consistent and has recorded some excellent numbers over the years. Draxler, in that respect, wouldn't be a good replacement for what is a key player for the Lilywhites. A nice squad option, definitely, but not up to the standard of Eriksen."

Matt Dawson

"Draxler is a phenomenal player on his day but you have to argue whether he has the consistency to replace someone as good as Eriksen. However, providing the price is right then he'd be a brilliant addition to this Spurs side. After reaching the Champions League final you feel as though they need some proven European talent to add to the exceptional homegrown players already at the club. Draxler, therefore, would be a solid acquisition."
