Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen is rated highly by Phil Thompson.
The Liverpool legend suggested that Eriksen is unique, and explained what makes the Denmark international different from other players in the Premier League.
Thompson also believes that Spanish and European giants Real Madrid and Barcelona will be interested in Eriksen, unlike former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, who recently wrote in The Telegraph that the Dane is not good enough to play for them.
Thompson said about Eriksen on Sky Sports Premier League (12:33pm, August 17, 2019): “His stats tell everything. You look at it last season, the amount of assists and amount of goals coupled together, that’s what makes him different from most players in the Premier League. That’s why he would interest Real Madrid or Barcelona.”
