#8 Right Central Midfielder – Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)

Christian Eriksen is the linchpin of Tottenham attack

Tottenham quite possibly have the best playmaker of the Premier League in the form of Christian Eriksen. The stylish Danish midfielder has got great technical abilities and a silken touch. He has impressed the Real Madrid and Barcelona faithful with his excellent performances this season and also been linked to Real constantly.

Eriksen has six goals and eight assists from 25 matches this season and should definitely be a part of this team.

Eriksen is a manager’s delight as he is capable of scoring goals as well with his crisp shots from the edge of the penalty box. He can also play in a withdrawn role in the central midfield and contribute defensively. He can provide the forwards consistently with good crosses and through-passes.

The Danish playmaker usually is very reliable with his free-kicks too and remains an outstanding player overall. It should not come as a surprise if a bigger club like Manchester United or Real Madrid decides to sign him soon.
