The father of Ajax starlet Christian Eriksen has fired a warning shot to young players, insisting that it may not be a good idea to pursue their career at Chelsea.

The 19-year-old has already made 11 appearances for Denmark, and impressed in the 2-1 loss to England in February.

It appears that the Dane – who is reported to be on the radar of several top clubs in Europe – underwent two trials with the Blues, but was still not offered a contract, with only a third invitation proposed.

“Chelsea thought he Eriksen was too weak and not that great,” said Thomas Eriksen, the player’s father, according to the Daily Mail.

“They wanted him to have a third trial – but I said no to that. They had time to consider him.

“But it suited us just fine because it was not the right place for him. The English mentality does not work, they are completely cold with the way they deal with players.

“If there is one player from the youth team that goes to the first team they are happy. They are indifferent to all the rest.

“The training facilities are good – but kids should not go there.”
