Christian Eriksen

Danish international Eriksen has quietly been putting in another very respectable season for Spurs.

Despite not hitting the headlines quite as much as some of his teammates, the 27-year-old remains one of the best creative players in the Premier League.

His seven goals and 12 assists help to highlight this and he provides the perfect accompaniment to Kane and Son in attack.

Oriol Romeu is likely to be the player patrolling the spaces that Eriksen works in today and he will need to get his challenges in early to limit the Dane’s threat.
