Top 5 midfielders of the Premier League at the moment (February 2019)

#2 Christian Eriksen

Christian Eriksen celebrates with teammates after scoring against Leicester City

Christian Eriksen has scored 5 goals and assisted 9 in the 23 matches he has played for the Spurs thus far. He recently inspired his team to a sublime 3-1 win over Leicester City to keep the pressure high on table toppers, Liverpool and Manchester City.

The Danish midfielder has been a consistent performer. He not only possesses individual quality but is a creative genius and plays for the team. Eriksen is among the best Danish footballers of all time. He also has 25 goals in 85 appearances for his country.

The ex-Ajax star instils belief in the Spurs side and ensures that they keep working hard towards the title - irrespective of other results. Eriksen will be hoping that his fellow team-mate Harry Kane, who was injured against United, returns to action soon as he has a terrific partnership with him.

The Mauricio Pochettino-led side are currently placed at 3rd position in the Premier League and have won 20 and lost 6 out of their 26 encounters.
