3 players Barcelona can sign to make Lionel Messi unstoppable next season

#2. Christian Eriksen

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League — Eriksen is one of the best midfielders in Europe at the moment

It is not news anymore that Barcelona lost a vital gem in the squad recently. After serving the club for 22 years, veteran midfielder, Andres Iniesta decided to cut-off his time at the Camp Nou. The Spaniard left the Blaugrana to join Japanese club Vissel Kobe on a 3-year contract.

Everyone knows that replacing Iniesta will not be an easy task for Barcelona. This is why signing a random player will be of no relevance at the moment. Therefore the Catalans need to recruit a world-class player who can help in reducing the workload on Lionel Messi at the club.

One name that has been linked with a move to the Camp Nou is Tottenham's, Christian Eriksen. He is one of the finest midfielders in Europe at the moment. A very creative player and an awesome game controller, his signing will definitely help Messi to return to his obvious best.

The Dane is a good user of the ball, capable of forging an awesome relationship with the Argentine. He can also help in reducing the burden on the playmaker by masterminding the midfield with his decent passing, intelligent movement and creativity in the attacking half.
