Christian Eriksen epitomised everything Tottenham believe they stand for, they still pine for his elusive talents and will be wishing their former maestro well in his battle back to full health

It isn’t the wonderful goals that guarantee Christian Eriksen a place in the hearts of all Tottenham supporters, although there were plenty of wonderful goals.

One at Chelsea springs to mind, a ferocious strike from the best part of 30 yards. It dipped and swerved and levelled the scores before Spurs went on to win 3-1 at Stamford Bridge when they were the best team in London.

Nor is it the assists although there is no shortage of those either, beautifully weighted passes, often picking out the run of Dele Alli when the team was a rising force under Mauricio Pochettino.
