Christian Eriksen has grown into a world-class midfielder for Spurs

Christian Eriksen is a silent performer in the mould of Andres Iniesta. He continues doing his job exceedingly well while star players Dele Alli and Harry Kane earn much of the plaudits.

The creative midfielder joined Tottenham from Ajax in 2013 and has become a vital cog in their lineup.He already has 4 goals and 3 assists in 17 appearances for Spurs this season and is one of the first names in Mauricio Pochettino's team list. He has a pass success rate of 81.2% this season while averaging 2.3 key passes per game. His vision and composure on the ball, to go with his passing ability make him one of the best central midfielders in the world at the moment.

The Dane is just 25 years old and his best years lie ahead of him. He has, in the past, also admitted that an offer from Barcelona could be tempting and if Barcelona decide to sign him, they will have secured a great like to like replacement for Iniesta.
