Five Eredivisie stars who could move to the Premier League

Christian Eriksen (Ajax)


Eriksen is arguably one of the biggest talents around in Europe and has already made well over 100 official appearances for Ajax at the age of 20. The Denmark international has caught the eye of several big teams with his superb passing and vision, and his performances in the big games this term suggest the attacking midfielder has what it takes to succeed at the highest level. Tottenham Hotspur have already made an enquiry for the gifted youngster, while Manchester United are also keeping tabs on Eriksen. A winter move seems unlikely at this point, but he could very well say farewell to the Eredivisie in the not too distant future.
