As far as prodigious youngsters go, Christian Eriken is up their with the best. The young Denmark international continuously impresses all those that opt to view the Ajax ace, be it in a relaxed form or a professional one.
It’s no surprise that clubs have taken a strong interest in the midfielder following his decision to snub a new contract from the Eredivisie side, with reports regularly circulating that a move to one of Europe’s heavyweight is a distinct possibility in the foreseeable future.
While Barcelona and Real Madrid have been credited with an interest, a move to the Premier League is looking the more likely for Eriksen, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are linking with a move for the youngster.
It isn’t a shock considering the potential Eriksen has shown with the Dutch club. His ability to run at defenders and open up the opposition in the blink of an eye is one of the finest across the continent, which has only seen his asking price, unsurprisingly, rise.
His contract snub may’ve come at an inconvenient time for Ajax, with the Amsterdam side currently embroiled in a title race with now less than four rivals for top spot. The speculation surrounding Eriksen will likely hamper his performances, but chances are they’ll still land top dollar for a player that has the potential to become of the the very best of his generation.
