5 most eagerly anticipated EPL debuts

Christian Eriksen

Dutch Eredivisie - Ajax v Roda JC Kerkrade

Rival fans were left dumbstruck when Spurs signed Ajax star Christian Eriksen for a measly £11.5m, mainly because there was a time when Eriksen was the hottest property in Europe and rumoured to carry a price tag of triple that amount. Daniel Levy has done his part by bringing a genuine playmaker into the side, but now it’s Andre Villas-Boas’ turn to ensure that his new signing settle in quickly.

It was quite evident from Spurs’ first three games that they had no-one to provide service to Soldado, and the fact that they haven’t scored a single goal from open play and had to rely on penalties is one that AVB will be looking to rectify.

Together with Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen could be the answer to Spurs’ attacking woes, as the Danish star is comfortable playing in a wider role and through the centre.

With Capoue, Dembele, and Paulinho patrolling the midfield, Spurs have enough brawn in their side. Now they need Eriksen to add the brain to that team.
