10 of the most underpaid footballers in the world

#7 Christian Eriksen (£75,000-a-week)

Manchester City v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

The Denmark international is one of the key members of Mauricio Pochettino's Spurs side. He helped Tottenham to a third-place finish in 2015/16 and second last season.

He was Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year in the 2013/14 campaign and once again last term. In 2015, he won the Danish Football Player of the Year award for the third successive year. As Spurs' chief creator in the number ten role, he's one of the most creative players across the division and has continued to develop following his switch from Ajax back four years ago.

He currently earns £75,000-a-week, which is less than some of his Tottenham team-mates like Moussa Sissoko, Dembelé and significantly less than some of the Premier League's top creators who feature for Spurs' main rivals. Among them include City's David Silva, Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho, Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Chelsea winger Eden Hazard.

Eriksen could easily earn twice his current wage for any of Europe's elite sides, or potentially higher. Still on the radar of Barcelona, a move abroad could occur next summer if Tottenham do not continue to progress and actually win silverware - something that has eluded their ever-improving core in recent seasons.

At 25, he's still got his best years ahead of him and Tottenham must do their best to appease his wage demands in future.
