Christian Eriksen is playing well for Tottenham Hotspur this season.
Harry Kane and Dele Alli may hit the headlines almost regularly for Tottenham Hotspur, but the importance of Christian Eriksen should not be undermined.
True, Eriksen has issues with consistency and he does go missing in certain games, but overall there is no doubt that he is a key player for Tottenham and could become world class in the coming years.
The 25-year-old is one of the best attacking midfielders in the Premier League, and has created 79 chances in 27 league matches so far this season.
The Denmark international has also scored six times in the league this campaign, demonstrating another facet of his game.
Former Chelsea and Everton winger Pat Nevin has been impressed with the performances of Eriksen and has spoken highly of him.
“Kante is going to win it but, as a forward-thinking player myself, Tottenham’s Christian Eriksen has been my favourite player to watch this season,” Nevin told BBC Sport while discussing his picks for the PFA Player of the Year award.
“Most people look at Dele Alli and Harry Kane for Spurs but I always watch Eriksen, who has been brilliant for them.”
Eriksen is quite underrated, and perhaps that is working in his favour. The Dane seems to be a mature young footballer who goes on about quietly doing his best.
Tottenham fans should appreciate what the 25-year-old brings to the team, as without him, Spurs may not do as well as they are doing at the moment.
