If he's not Eriksen's agent then he has no influence on the situation, and if he does have influence on it then he is de facto an agent regardless of whether that is official or not. This sort of thing literally happens all the time - how is it any different from, say, Tottenham players tapping up an opposition player on international duty to see if he is interested in a move, or ex-players talking up potential moves in the papers?
All clubs use any means possible to manipulate situations in their favour, whether that be pushing for transfers to happen or trying to drum up interest in players on their way out. You are living in a dream world if you think this sort of thing doesn't happen with every transfer going and, once again, we will be benefiting from it as much as anyone.
If you have a problem with the practice, fine - but you're a hypocrite if you're only taking issue when it works against us.
