Ajax have announced that they have given Tottenham permission to speak to Christian Eriksen. At the age of just 21-years-old, Eriksen offers so much potential. Back in 2010, at only 18, he was the youngest player in the World Cup, and now, three years later, he has already earned 34 caps for Denmark, as well racking up over 150 games for his club side. Eriksen is a real treat to watch, he has a fluidity and style in his actions combined with superb technical ability. Physically he is a light player but he compensates for this weakness with pace, technique and clever positioning. His vision, quality of passing and ability to go forward has already seen parallels being made with Ajax stars of the past such as Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart. Last season, he scored 10 goals in 33 Eredivisie games, grabbing 17 assists and he’s already started the 2013/14 campaign in similar fashion, with two goals and three assists in his opening four league games. -CR7
