Top 10 set-piece takers in Europe

#9 Christian Eriksen

Christian Eriksen is one of the best playmakers in the Premier League at the moment

25-year-old Danish international, Christian Eriksen is among the best set-piece takers in the Premier League. Tottenham, under Mauricio Pochettino, have become one of the best teams in England and Eriksen’s influence on the side cannot be underestimated.

The team’s main set-piece taker, Eriksen has time and again rescued Spurs’ from sticky situations with his brilliant free-kick and corner taking abilities. Calm and composed on the ball, the talented playmaker is often the main creative influence.

While his passing, technical abilities and vision are rightly lauded, Eriksen’s main strength is arguably his free-kick abilities. A dead-ball specialist, Pochettino will be hoping that the Danish international continues scoring incredible free-kick goals.
