Tottenham Hotspur will host Manchester City in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Manchester City ace Kevin De Bruyne has lauded the ‘underrated’ Tottenham Hotspur midfielder, Chrsitian Eriksen, who is part of his perfect player.
Both players, who are regarded as two of the best playmakers in England’s top-flight, will meet on Tuesday night in a crucial Champions League encounter.
Spurs will host Pep Guardiola’s side at their new stadium as they will be hoping to gain an advantage in the first leg of their knockout encounter.
But speaking to BT Sports official Twitter account, De Bruyne was in awe of Eriksen and the vision the former Ajax youth product possesses in his game.
“I like a player like Eriksen,” De Bruyne told BT Sport. “Very underrated in people’s mind and he creates a lot of chances for his teammates. I know him already from his time at Ajax.”
Eriksen has been a key player for Mauricio Pochettino in recent seasons helping them secure Champions League football on a regular basis.
Pochettino will be hoping he can provide them with that extra bit of magic as they aim to progress as far as they can in Europe this season.
Added with that, the North London club will also have one eye on securing their top-four status as their win against Crystal Palace last time out was a huge relief to all.
Nonetheless, over the course of the season, Eriksen has played 29 Premier League matches for Spurs, scoring six goals and supplying his teammates with 11 assists [transfermarkt].
