Barcelona have been linked with Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli.
Dele Alli may not be in great form at the moment, but there is no doubt that the Tottenham Hotspur star is one of the best young midfielders in the world.
There is little surprise that Barcelona are interested in the 21-year-old England international, as reported by Sport, but if the Spanish giants really want to sign a midfielder from Spurs, then they should look at Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen is the best midfielder at Tottenham. The 25-year-old is one of the most creative midfielders in Europe, and Barcelona should be looking at him, not Alli.
Alli effectively operates as a support striker behind Kane, while Eriksen plays in an ‘attacking midfield’ role.
The Denmark international is still quite young, but he has been playing top-flight football for years and has a lot of experienced.
Blessed with creativity, quick-thinking and inventiveness, the former Ajax star knows how to control the ball and has a wide passing range.
The likes of Kane and Alli may hit the headlines quite regularly, but it is Eriksen who pulls the strings from midfield.
There is no doubt that Alli would be a good signing for Barcelona, but what the Catalan giants need is someone to gradually replaced Andres Iniesta in the team – Eriksen could be that player.
