Christian Eriksen - Tottenham Hotspur

The Danish midfielder, ever since his move from Ajax to Spurs, has put in several match-winning displays, attracting the interest of Europe's top clubs. He has established himself as one of the key players in the Pochettino setup, along with the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli etc.

He is tactically sound, thanks to the setup of Spurs, which concentrates on positional play and clear roles for the players, something similar to Barca. Good on the ball, with great vision and an eye for goal, he will be the perfect signing for the Liga giants.

He will slot right into the left side of a 3-man midfield, taking up the role of bringing the ball forward from the back. His playmaking ability is also exceptional as Spurs seem to play with ease whenever he is on the ball.

He has once again made the EPL Team of the Year, with 10 goals and 11 assists in 37 appearances, playing a vital role in helping Spurs finish 3rd on the table.

At 26, the opportunity to be a starter at one of the best clubs in the world could be too much for him to turn down if Barcelona come knocking.

Daniel Levy is known to be someone impossible to make a deal with. But Eriksen will be into the last year of his contract come next summer and now is the perfect time for Barcelona to pull out their checkbook and strike a deal that will see one of the most feared midfielders move to their shores.
