6 players who can replace Luka Modric at Real Madrid

#5 Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)

25-year-old Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has been in fine form this season. The Danish playmaker started the season slowly, but ever since the turn of the year, Eriksen has been one of the best players in the Premier League.

Blessed with immaculate vision, technique and set-piece abilities, Eriksen's good performances seem to have drawn the attention of Madrid’s arch rivals Barcelona, The Catalan side reportedly see the 25-year-old as an ideal replacement for Iniesta.

However, while the Tottenham star has not been linked with a move to Real Madrid, the Bernabeu chiefs should seriously consider signing the playmaker. Capable of completely destroying opposition defences with brilliant through balls, the Danish international would definitely supply plenty of goals to the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema.

Eriksen is a brilliant footballer and we might just see both Barcelona and Real Madrid fight over his signature in the summer transfer window. However, for Eriksen to play successfully at Madrid, Kroos might have to adopt a slightly more withdrawn role.
