5 players who can inherit Andres Iniesta's number 8 jersey at Barcelona

# 4. Christian Eriksen

The Spurs midfielder has been a consistent performer in England.

Christian Eriksen has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League for the last few seasons.

The Danish International, has been a key to the Spurs attack and creativity, from the midfield. The 26-year-old has netted 14 goals and provided for another 12 in all competitions, so far this season.

His ability to drop deep to fetch the ball and provide dangerous balls into the box is what Valverde needs at the moment to cut Lionel Messi's workload. The Catalan club is understood to be the favorite to sign the player this summer.

He can be played on the right of the flanks where Paulinho or Dembele have started majorly. Barcelona would be greatly benefit with his flexibility in the engine room.

He is the player Barca must pursue to solve their midfield problems. Handing him the number #8 would be an icing on the cake.
