Can Tottenham’s Eriksen become the best Danish player ever?

The talented midfielder brought his team to the 2018 World Cup and he is doing great things at Tottenham

NEWS ERIKSEN / He was born on February 14, 1992. The guy from Middelfart (Denmark) grew up and became a talented football player. It's not easy for a Danish guy to start a career in football but his innate skills pushed him to believe that he could have made it. Nowadays, the 25-years-old midfielder is a top star in Denmark and overseas too. Eriksen is doing great things in the London with Pochettino's crew. His soft touch, vision, and pass through are benefiting Tottenham, a club that in the past few years improved a lot and is constantly challenging the top clubs for the final trophy. 

His recent appearances with his national team further put Christian Eriksen under the spotlight. He has pushed Denmark to the 2018 World Cup in Russia thanks to his mastery in midfield and a great hattrick scored in the 5-1 World Cup playoff second-leg win against Republic of Ireland. 

Eriksen set to become the best Danish player ever

When we think about the best Danish football player in history we certainly think about Michael Laudrup. He won league titles with Ajax, Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Juventus. A world-class playmaker who amazed the crowds for several years. Probably the second name that pops up in our mind is the goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. He was voted the “World's Best Goalkeeper” in 1992 and 1993. His remarkable career with Manchester United brought him a treble in 1999. In that year, he also lifted the UEFA Champions League trophy. Schmeichel reached the success with his national team winning the UEFA Euro 1992.

The list could go on and on and on. We could talk about Brian Laudrup, Allan Simonsen, or Preben Elkjær Larsen but Christian Eriksen seems to be a predestinated one. In the current season in London, he made 15 appearances scoring four goals and four assists. He has played in the Premier League, Champions League, and EFL Cup. 

In Saturday's North London derby Arsenal will face a complete player. In a recent interview released to 'Sky Sport', Tottenham's Eric Dier stated: “this is the best Christian Eriksen we've ever seen.” Also, Denmark's boss Age Harried believes that his playmaker should be ranked among the world's top 10 players.
