Christian Dannemann Eriksen (born 14 February 1992) is a Danish professional footballer who plays as an attacking midfielder for Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur and the Danish national team. He made his debut for the Denmark national team in March 2010, and was the youngest player of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.[3][4]

In 2011, Eriksen was named Danish Football Player of the Year, Dutch Football Talent of the Year, Ajax Talent of the Year (Marco van Basten Award), and made the UEFA Euro U-21 Team of the Tournament.[5] He also won the Eredivisie with Ajax in 2010–11, 2011–12 and in 2012–13 before departing for Tottenham in August 2013 for a reported fee of around £11.5 million.[6] He won the Tottenham Hotspur Player of the Year award for the 2013–14 season and in 2015 won his third consecutive Danish Football Player of the Year award.

Club career

Early career in Middelfart and Odense

Born in Middelfart, Denmark, Eriksen started playing football in his hometown before his third birthday. In 2005, he joined Odense Boldklub who competed in the Danish youth championships. In his debut season, OB lost in the semi-final against Brøndby IF but Eriksen was named "Best Technical Player" at the end of the tournament.[7] The following year OB won the tournament, with Eriksen scoring the only goal in the final.[8] After performing well for OB's U-16 team and later for the U-19 team and Danish U-17 team, major European football clubs including Chelsea and Barcelona were credited with an interest in Eriksen.[9] The player had trials with Barcelona, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Manchester United and Milan, but finally decided to move to Ajax, stating, "My first step should not be too big. I knew that playing in the Netherlands would be very good for my development. Then Ajax arrived and that was a fantastic option."[10]

Ajax

2008–2010: Youth and first-team squad

On 17 October 2008, it was announced that Eriksen had signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with Amsterdam-based Ajax.[11] The transfer fee received by OB was estimated at €1 million (£847,199).[12] He worked his way through the youth teams, and was promoted to the first team squad in January 2010, where he was given the number 51 shirt.[13] Within the month, he made his first team debut for the Dutch team in the Eredivisie on 17 January 2010 against NAC Breda.[14] Ajax manager Martin Jol compared him to the likes of Ajax youth products Wesley Sneijder and Rafael van der Vaart and described him as a good reader of the game in the traditional "number 10" role like the two Dutch internationals and Danish legend Michael Laudrup, who also played for Ajax.[13][15]

On 25 March 2010, Eriksen scored his first goal for Ajax in a 6–0 win against opponents Go Ahead Eagles in the Dutch Cup. On 10 April, he extended his contract with Ajax until the summer of 2014, stating, "I can still learn a lot here, I'm not finished yet and I hope I can mean a lot for the club."[16] On 6 May, Eriksen played in the second match of the final of the 2009–10 Dutch Cup as Ajax beat Feyenoord 4–1, prevailing 6–1 on aggregate.[17] At the end of his first professional season at Ajax, Eriksen had played 21 competitive matches, scoring one goal, and had made his international debut for Denmark.[18][19] For his second season in the first team of Ajax, Eriksen was given the number 8 shirt.[20]

2010–2013: Breakthrough years

Eriksen began the 2010–11 season well, scoring his first Ajax league goal on 29 August 2010 in an away victory over De Graafschap.[21] On 11 November, he scored his first goal at the Amsterdam Arena, a 3–0 Cup victory over BV Veendam.[22] In December, Eriksen was named Danish "Talent of the Year."[23] Several days after receiving this award, Eriksen once again proved his value to Ajax by scoring the only goal in a 1–0 away league victory over Vitesse Arnhem.[24] On 17 February 2011, Eriksen scored his first goal in European competition, Ajax's second, when Ajax beat Anderlecht 3–0 in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League.[25] On 13 March 2011, Eriksen scored a solo goal, running from the halfway line to finish it off with a strike to secure a 3–1 win over Willem II.[26]

During the rest of the season, Eriksen became more and more important for Ajax, due to his growing capabilities as the team's playmaker, providing many assists. After a good season during which he developed himself into an undisputed starter in the side that won the 2010–11 Eredivisie (Ajax's first Eredivisie title in seven years), he was named Ajax's Talent of the Year.[27] On 23 May 2011, he was named Dutch Football Talent of the Year, the second Danish player to win the award since Jon Dahl Tomasson in 1996. He was elected by a jury under command of Holland's all-time best player Johan Cruyff. "He's a player I really like with all my heart," Cruyff praised Eriksen. "This prize is just the beginning, a stimulus to get the maximum out of his career. The talent is there, the recognition also; now it is up to the player himself. He is a typical product of the Danish school. You can compare him with Brian and Michael Laudrup. Only time will tell if Eriksen can reach the same level as them."[28]

On 18 October 2011, Eriksen scored his first goal in the UEFA Champions League when Ajax beat Dinamo Zagreb 2–0 in the group stage, making him the second-youngest player to score in the 2011–12 Champions League season. In the second match against Dinamo on 2 November, he provided assists to Gregory van der Wiel and Siem de Jong as well as being involved with the third goal; Ajax cruised to a 4–0 victory.[29] He was named Danish Football Player of the Year on 7 November after helping Ajax win the Eredivisie the previous year and guiding the Danish national team to a successful UEFA Euro 2012 qualification campaign, after receiving the award Eriksen said, "I am extremely honoured to be standing here tonight. I did not expect it, it really means a lot to me. I would like to thank my team-mates in the national team as well as my team-mates at Ajax."[30] Following the success of Eriksen's third consecutive Eredivisie title in the 2012–13 season, he opted not to renew his contract with Ajax, and with one year still remaining on his current contract, he was permitted to search for a new club. Having come to terms with Tottenham Hotspur in England, Eriksen left Ajax having appeared in 113 league matches, scoring 25 goals and 41 assists. He played in 16 matches for the KNVB Cup, scoring four goals and making four assists. He made 30 appearances on the continental stage for Ajax, scoring three goals, and making nine assists all together. Having also competed in the Johan Cruyff Shield three years in a row.[31]

Tottenham Hotspur

2013–2015: Premier League introduction and League Cup runner-up

On 30 August 2013, Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur announced that they had completed the transfer of Eriksen from Ajax in a deal believed to be worth £11 million ($12.45 million).[32] Eriksen joined the club on the same day as Érik Lamela, who joined from Roma, and Vlad Chiricheș, who joined from Steaua București, and took the club's total spending for the 2013 summer transfer window to £109.5 million.[33] He made his league debut against Norwich City on 14 September 2013 and provided an assist for Gylfi Sigurðsson in a 2–0 victory.[34] After the match, Spurs manager André Villas-Boas commented, "It was a great debut for Christian, he is a pure number 10, a creative player and his individual quality made all the difference."[35]

Five days later, Eriksen "clipped a wonderful dipping shot" over the goalkeeper to score his first Tottenham goal and complete a 3–0 win over Tromsø IL in the Europa League.[36] He added to his Tottenham goal tally with a goal from a free kick in a 1–1 draw against West Bromwich Albion on Boxing Day 2013, and the second goal in Spurs' 1–2 away win against Manchester United on 1 January 2014.[37] On 23 March, after goals from Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana had given Southampton a 2–0 lead against Tottenham at White Hart Lane, Eriksen scored twice to level the score and assisted Sigurðsson to score the winning goal.[38] He continued his goalscoring form on 12 April 2014 when he scored a stoppage-time equaliser to help Tottenham come from 3–0 down to draw 3–3 at West Brom.[39] By the end of the season, he had scored ten goals and registered 13 assists across all competitions, won the Danish Football Player of the Year award and was named Tottenham's Player of the Season.[40][41]

Ahead of the 2014–15 campaign, Tottenham appointed Mauricio Pochettino as new club manager after the unsuccessful period under Villas-Boas and interim-manager Tim Sherwood. Between November and December 2014, Eriksen scored late winners against Aston Villa, Hull and Swansea which he credited to the Argentine manager for raising the team's fitness levels.[42] By the end of the calendar year, Eriksen had scored 12 goals from open play – more than any other player in England – and was soon after awarded his second consecutive Danish Footballer of the Year award.[43] On 28 January 2015, Eriksen scored twice in a 2–2 (3–2 aggregate) win over Sheffield United to send Tottenham into the League Cup Final.[44] His first goal, a 30-yard curling free kick, was later lauded by former professionals Michael Owen and Gary Neville.[45] The final, played against London rivals Chelsea, took place on 1 March and ended in a 2–0 defeat for Tottenham.[46] Eriksen completed the 2014–15 campaign having featured in every Premier League game for Mauricio Pochettino, starting all-but one match, and scored 12 goals across all competitions.[47]

On 9 June 2015, amid speculation that he would be joining Manchester United, Eriksen confirmed to Danish media whilst on international duty that he would stay at Tottenham for the foreseeable future and was quoted as saying, "I feel right at home at Tottenham and I haven't thought about leaving yet."[48] He did in fact remain with the club and scored his first goals of the season in October, netting from two free-kicks in a 2–2 draw with Swansea.[49]

2016–present: Premier League runner-up and PFA Team of the Year

In January 2016, Eriksen was once again named Danish Footballer of the Year. In doing so he became the first ever player to win the award in three consecutive years.[43] He ultimately scored 6 goals and registered 13 assists as Tottenham ended the league season in third place, thereby qualifying for the following season's Champions League campaign.[50]

The following season, Eriksen signed a new long-term contract with Tottenham and starred once again for the club, scoring eight goals and assisting a further 15 as the club ended the league campaign as runners-up to champions Chelsea.[51] Eriksen's tally of assists was bettered only by Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne who set up 18 goals for the season.[52] Eriksen also recorded the joint-most assists in the FA Cup and later won the Tottenham Player of the Season award, claiming the award for the second time after previously winning it in his debut season with the club.[53][41]

Eriksen broke the record for the most goals scored by a Danish player in the Premier League when he scored his 33rd goal in a 3–2 win over West Ham on 23 September 2017, surpassing the record previously held by Nicklas Bendtner.[54] On 9 December, he made his 200th career appearance for Tottenham and marked the occasion by scoring in a 5–1 Premier League win over Stoke City.[55] The following month, he scored his 50th goal for the club when he netted after just 11 seconds in the 2–0 league win over Manchester United.[56] Eriksen's goal was the third-fastest goal ever scored in the Premier League era, bettered only by Alan Shearer and former Spurs captain Ledley King.[57] On 17 March 2018, Eriksen scored twice in an FA Cup fixture against Swansea City to send Spurs to the semi-final for the second season running.[58] On 1 April 2018, Ericksen scored a 25-yard goal in the away match against Chelsea, helping Tottenham to their first win in 28 years at Stamford Bridge in a match that finished 3–1.[59] Later that month, in the reverse fixture against Stoke, Eriksen scored twice to earn Tottenham a 2–1 win. Following the match, however, teammate Harry Kane, who was challenging for the season's Golden Boot award, claimed to have made the last touch on the ball for the second goal. Tottenham appealed to the Premier League panel who agreed that the ball touched Kane's shoulder and awarded him the goal.[60][61] On 14 April, Eriksen was named in the PFA Team of the Year for the first time, alongside teammates Kane and Jan Vertonghen.[62]

Eriksen was called up to the Denmark national under-17 football team in July 2007,[63] and impressed in his debut for the team on 31 July.[64] In 2008, he scored nine goals in 16 games for the U-17s, and was named Danish U-17 Talent of the Year by the Danish FA.[65] He was also one of four nominees for the 2008 Danish Talent of the Year award,[66] which was won by Mathias Jørgensen.[65] He played 27 games for the under-17 team until February 2009.

Eriksen received his first senior Denmark call-up in February 2010,[67] making his debut in Denmark's friendly match against Austria in March,[19] to become Denmark's fourth youngest full international, being the youngest debutant since Michael Laudrup.[68]

In doing so, he became the youngest Danish player ever to score a goal in European qualification, being nine days younger than Michael Laudrup when he scored his first goal in 1983.[75]
