7 terribly underpaid footballers

#4 Christian Eriksen

Tottenham Hotspur v Stoke City - Premier League — The most underrated midfielder in the world

Earlier, I mentioned that Cesar Azpilicueta would be the player on the top of the most underrated footballers’ list. However, if there is someone who could displace him from that spot, it is Christian Eriksen.

Whenever we talk of the best midfielders, Eriksen’s name is rarely mentioned or even if it is, it happens at the end of the list. However, over the last 3-4 years, he has shown that he is among the best in the league—a class act in the same bracket as the David Silvas and Coutinhos—and has become the heart of Tottenham Hotspur's attacking line.

His wages, however, just about reflect his underrated abilities as a footballer. With a weekly income of £75,000 from the club, it just about shows that he is someone who deserves way more than what he gets currently.
