Tottenham's Christian Eriksen heaps praise on former coach and Arsenal legend Dennis Bergkamp ahead of north London derby

Tottenham's Christian Eriksen has credited former Arsenal striker Dennis Bergkamp with playing a major role in developing his creative talents.

Spurs face the Gunners in the north London derby on Saturday and victory for Mauricio Pochettino's side would pull them seven points clear of their fiercest rivals.

Eriksen is likely to be key at the Emirates Stadium given he has arguably been Tottenham's most consistent performer this season behind the sensational Harry Kane.

The Dane joined from Ajax in 2013 and it was at the Dutch club where he says he learned from the attacking genius of Bergkamp.
