Eriksen has been the star of the season for Spurs – and given how well Harry Kane has done, it speaks volumes.
The Dane is currently making around £32,000 per week and will want to show the club that he is worth far more than that as talks of a new deal are mooted – and there is no better way than to shine on the world stage. Given he manages to get an astonishing 50% of his shots from the middle of the park on target and has an 83% success rate with his passing, you have to assume he will.
Spurs are desperate to win some silverware this season and the Europa League is one of their best chances to do so – providing Eriksen et al perform that is.
