5 best midfielders in the Premier League this season

#3 Christian Eriksen (Tottenham)

Eriksen has been in sublime form for Tottenham this season

Tottenham's biggest star is undoubtedly Harry Kane, but the next best player in that team this season has arguably been the elegant Danish playmaker, Christian Eriksen. Calm and composed on the ball, Eriksen has often initiated attacks with his wonderful passing and brilliant through-balls.

While his passing, technical abilities and vision are rightly lauded, Eriksen’s biggest strength is his set-piece taking abilities. The 26-year-old has time and again rescued Spurs’ from sticky situations with his brilliant free-kick taking abilities and incisive corners.

Having scored 7 goals and grabbed 7 assists so far in this campaign, Eriksen is definitely among the most talented playmakers in world football at the moment.
