Edgar Davids says new Spurs signing Christian Eriksen will thrive in the Premier League
Dutch legend and former Spurs midfielder Edgar Davids thinks Eriksen's best position will be at number 10
Former Tottenham midfielder Edgar Davids believes Christian Eriksen has the potential to light up the Premier League if he can play as a number 10 for Spurs this season.
Eriksen is the seventh player to arrive at White Hart Lane this summer and his purchase from Ajax has seen Tottenham’s spending this summer eclipse £100 million.
Davids, who was a Champions League winner with his hometown club during one of two spells at Ajax, believes Eriksen will flourish if allowed to play in his best position.
“I think he has to play as the number 10,” said the Barnet player-manager.
“I rate Eriksen very highly. I just hope they (Tottenham) use him in the position he knows best, because if you use him in that position it will be a lot of fun.”
Eriksen has played 37 times for Denmark and the 21-year-old has helped Ajax win the title in Holland for the past three seasons.
In 162 matches for his club, Eriksen has been involved in almost 100 goals, scoring on 33 occasions and assisting in a further 66 goals.
And Davids believes the young Danish midfielder could prove to be a shrewd addition to the Tottenham squad.
“If his potential comes out it will be a bargain,” said the former Juventus and Barcelona midfielder.
“I think he will do well - I am confident he will do well,”
“If Eriksen can do what he has been doing with Ajax, and do what he does best, he is going to be a bargain and it’s going to be a very good season for Tottenham.”
