Souness wrote about Eriksen in The Times: “in Christian Eriksen, Liverpool come up against a player today who would be perfect for them and improve any team anywhere at the moment.
“Not only does the 27-year-old play the clever passes that strikers thrive on, but he puts a shift in for the team, too, as all top players do.”
