Christian Eriksen is a very important player for Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Liverpool central defender has highlighted Eriksen’s versatility, and believes that players like the Denmark international are becoming less and less.
The Sky Sports pundit has also pointed out that the Liverpool midfielders do not score as many goals as the 27-year-old does.
Thompson said about Eriksen on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports News on Saturday afternoon (12:09pm, April 27, 2019): “What is he? Is he like a midfield player, or is he a number 10 or is he right-sided or left-sided?
“You don’t know with Eriksen, his position and what he does in football, goalscoring attacking midfield player. It’s absolutely precious, and they seem to be becoming less and less in the game.
“Yes, we see in Manchester City, but my own side Liverpool, none has that amount of goals from the midfield three, but with him, my goodness, he does that all the time.”
World-class footballer
Eriksen is one of the best and most creative midfielders in the world, and the Denmark international is hugely important for Tottenham.
Spurs have progressed well as a club in recent years, and the former Ajax star has been a key figure in the North London club’s journey.
The Denmark international has made 28 starts and five substitute appearances in the Premier League for Spurs this season, scoring seven goals and providing 12 assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
Eriksen has made eight starts and one substitute appearance in the Champions League this campaign, scoring two goals and providing four assists in the process, according to WhoScored.
