Ranking the 10 best midfielders in the world

#3 Christian Eriksen

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - 2019 International Champions Cup

Christian Eriksen is one of the most creative footballers in the world and can create chances out of virtually nothing. He has been outstanding for Tottenham Hotspur over the years and has delivered many memorable performances. He is generally deployed as an attacking midfielder, and it is because of him that the likes of Harry Kane and Heung-min Son are able to score goals.

He scored 10 goals and assisted 17 last season in 51 appearances. The Danish star had 73 key passes last season, highlighting his creative talent. He also won 41 tackles in the Premier League at a success rate of 50%. He is amazing at taking set-pieces and isn't shy of shooting from outside the box.

The 27 year old has entered the last year of his contract and it isn't surprising that Spurs are looking to tie him down to a long-term contract.
