Spurs fans seldom get to go a full summer transfer window without worrying that their best players are about to be cruelly snatched away by one of Europe's big boys, and that trend looks set to continue in 2018.

This time it's Christian Eriksen, rather than Harry Kane and Delli Alli, who could be on the move, the Danish playmaker being one of the few players on the planet with the skill-set to replace Andres Iniesta.

Think about it: he can pass long and short, he's great at drifting between the midfield and defence of his opponents, and his through balls are second to none. He can even hit a mean set piece.

From a Barca point of view, the one drawback could be his relative lack of pace. Eriksen is a great footballer, but not exactly a tremendous athlete, and therefore needs a lot of legs around him to compensate. With Messi and Suarez in the side, that could be a big issue.
