5 Galactico signings that Real Madrid could target this year

#2 Christian Eriksen

The Great Dane, Tottenham's creator-in-chief. Christian Eriksen oozes class every time he is on the pitch.

The Danish or the Great Dane, Christian Eriksen should be a priority for Madrid this year. He has been at his absolute best with Spurs and oozes class every time. He has been on the radar of some many giants but none have actually managed to lure him away. The Los Blancos have every reason to pursue Eriksen.

For starters, they have no creativity in the attacking side or lack of attacking midfielder if you will. Kroos and Modric have been inconsistent. Isco is not even in the starting XI most of the times. Reports in Italy and England suggest that Modric could end up at the former and Isco in the latter. Who will guard the midfield then? Eriksen is the answer.

He could play on any side on the field. He could play deep or he could play in the central attacking midfield zone. He could also go into transit in the wings from the midfield, having a free-flowing positioning. Eriksen as a Regista or as a Raumdeuter is a dangerous situation for oppositions. The former a playmaker who drops deep and then moves up the pitch, the latter a free-roaming player on the pitch.

Eriksen's ability is not in doubt. His superior assists, the creation of chances and goals, even better passing and goalscoring in comparison with Madrid's lead midfielders make him a perfect fit at Madrid. He will engage the forwards, he will hold the midfield lines and he will play line-breaking passes, what more do you need?

Tottenham doesn't have the funds to keep their best players with them. So, no problem there.
