Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane has spoken highly of his teammate Christian Eriksen, as quoted on BBC Sport.

Kane has raved about the Denmark international attacking midfielder following North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham at the weekend.

Eriksen started the Premier League game at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday and had a good game on a personal level.

The 27-year-old scored after just 10 minutes, and, according to WhoScored, he took four shots, had a pass accuracy of 83.3%, and made two tackles, one interception and two clearances, and played two key passes.

Kane told BBC Sport about Eriksen: “He is a fantastic player. I’ve been playing with him for five-six years. He is doing the best he can. You can see how much the goal meant to him.”

Important player

Eriksen is one of the best and most creative players in Europe, and the Dane will be key to Tottenham having a successful season in 2019-20.

The Dane has started two of the four Premier League games for Spurs so far this season, according to WhoScored, and manager Mauricio Pochettino has to make him a regular in the starting lineup.

After all, it is pointless to have a player with Eriksen’s quality and calibre on the substitutes’ bench when the team is better off with him on the pitch and creating chances for star striker Harry Kane.
