LONDON -- Tottenham Hotspur's Christian Eriksen is now among the best playmakers in the world, according to teammate Jan Vertonghen.
Eriksen was named Tottenham supporters' player of the year last term, and he continued his superb start to this season by creating the first two goals and scoring their third in Saturday's 3-2 win at West Ham.
Vertonghen knows Eriksen well after playing with him for four seasons at Ajax before joining Spurs in 2012, a year before the Denmark international, and he says his clubmate is finally fulfilling his potential.
"I think Christian has made unbelievable progress," Vertonghen said.
