West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.
Ahead of West Ham’s Premier League game against Tottenham at the London Stadium on Saturday afternoon, Bilic has underlined the threat posed by the Denmark international attacking midfielder.
“They have many excellent players but the one who is maybe the unsung hero is Christian Eriksen,” the West Ham manager wrote in The London Evening Standard.
“I don’t want to say he is under-rated because everyone in Europe is aware of the talent that he possesses.
“Apart from being a vital link in their team, he is also making clever little moves into pockets of space or into the box.”
Eriksen is one of the best attacking midfielders in the world and has been a key figure for Tottenham for a number of years.
The 25-year-old has scored one goal and provided two assists in five Premier League matches for Spurs so far this season.
During the 2016-17 campaign, the former Ajax star scored eight goals and provided 15 assists in 36 league appearances for Tottenham.
Tottenham have a better team than West Ham, but for Mauricio Pochettini’s side to pick up all three points from the London derby, Eriksen will have to be on top of his game.
Spurs will head into the match against West Ham as favourites.
