#4 Christian Eriksen
Like Alderweireld, the future of Christian Eriksen at Tottenham is very much up in the air right now – the Danish playmaker has just a year to run on his contract, talks over a new one at Spurs have stalled, and the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona have expressed an interest in signing him. Regardless of his future though, Eriksen has enjoyed another excellent season, and it’s clear why Europe’s biggest clubs are looking at him.
Simply put, Eriksen is Tottenham’s creative hub and without him, even their most dangerous attackers like Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son aren’t as effective. The Dane has registered 11 assists in Premier League action this season – more than double the number of anyone else in the Spurs squad – and he’s also chipped in with 8 goals in all competitions – including a priceless winner against Inter Milan in the Champions League group stage.
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Eriksen is that it’s honestly hard to see exactly how Pochettino would replace him if he is sold. One of the Premier League’s most outstanding attacking talents, if Tottenham can hold onto Eriksen for at least a couple more seasons, their fans will probably be in rapture.
