Liverpool Transfers: 5 Players Who Could Replace Steven Gerrard

1. Christian Eriksen

Liverpool has been one of many clubs interested in the services of one of Europe's hottest young prospects. The 21 year-old Dane has enjoyed another terrific season in the Eredivisie for Ajax and hasn't kept a secret his desires to move to one of the elite European Leagues. In order to secure his signature Liverpool would have to outbid the likes of Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund, but with no recent news on possible transfers he is still on the market. A terrific talent, Eriksen possesses brilliant vision and is graceful on the ball and plays like a young Steven Gerrard. But will they be able to lure him to Liverpool? Eriksen is a player who is seemingly looking for European football as he wishes to develop as a player and, unfortunately, Liverpool cannot offer him that. What they can offer the young Danish star is regular first team football in the highly competitive English top flight and the opportunity to be part of the Liverpool project under Brendan Rodgers. He still has a great deal to learn and who better to learn off than midfield elitist Steven Gerrard? For £15 million, according to Caught Offside, the signature of Eriksen would be a massive coup for the Merseyside club. Whoever is lucky enough to welcome Christian Eriksen to their squad will be hot topic for the remainder of the transfer window ... let's hope Liverpool can get it done!
