5 potential replacements for Luka Modric at Real Madrid

#4 Christian Eriksen

The Spurs midfielder is a consistent performer in England.

Eriksen is among one of the best midfielders in England. The Danish midfielder has been pivotal to the Spurs side which has been impressive for the past few seasons now.

The player has long been linked with a move to Spain. However, the interested party is the arch-rivals FC Barcelona. In 2017/18 alone, he created 82 chances in the league while boasting a passing accuracy of 82%.

The 26-year-old is a sublime passer of the ball. He has that unique ability to fall deep to fetch the ball while allowing the players to make runs in the boxes. His crossing and delivery are, to say the least, superb.

Real Madrid would greatly benefit from his style of play. They can rely on him for creativity which has vastly been missing from their superstars' game recently.

However, his acquisition would mean Toni Kroos would have to be in a slightly more withdrawn role. The same shouldn't be a problem because the German's best abilities certainly do not come playing too close to the opposition's defence.
