Tottenham Hotspur v Newcastle United - Premier League — Eriksen could be Barca's best option

Barcelona might not find a better midfielder in the transfer market this summer if they fail to sign Tottenham Hotspur superstar Christian Eriksen.

Whether it is to introduce a new dimension into the midfield or to serve as a decent replacement to the departed Andres Iniesta, the playmaker has all it takes to succeed at the Camp Nou.

Eriksen has been making waves in the Premier League for the past few years, earning a reputation for his incredible displays for the North London outfit.

He is one of the finest midfielders in Europe at the moment, with his incredible passing, creativity, vision and the ability to control the game from the middle of the pitch.

Eriksen also impresses when given offensive roles, creating clear cut chances and tormenting opposition defenses with his thunderous long range efforts. Barcelona need to go all out to sign this man.
