Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - The Emirates FA Cup Semi Final — A perfect replacement for Andres Iniesta at the Camp Nou

Catalan giants FC Barcelona have been working tirelessly in the transfer market ever since club legend Andres Iniesta departed the Camp Nou recently.

After 22 years of incredible service, the Spaniard decided to quit the Catalan capital by completing a move to join Japanese side, Vissel Kobe.

This has put the Blaugrana in a desperate situation to find a world-class midfielder to replace the Spaniard ahead of the next campaign. Tottenham Hotspur superstar, Cristian Eriksen is reportedly a top target of the Catalans at the moment, with a deal worth £100 million being planned.

Eriksen could help Barcelona overcome their midfield woes, with his incredible ability - he could dictate play and influence games from the middle of the pitch. His amazing vision, decent passing, and intelligent movement make him an ideal replacement for Iniesta at the Camp Nou.
