Eight that could be great
1 Christian Eriksen, Denmark (20)
The playmaker made 20 assists in helping Ajax win the Dutch league this season and impressed during the Europa League run too. Now 20, Eriksen made a brief appearance as the 2010 World Cup’s youngest player and, though he has been compared to Mario Gotze and Juan Mata for his slim frame, actually plays more like Denmark’s most famous son, Michael Laudrup. “He’s a player I really like,” said Johan Cruyff. “He is a typical product of the Danish school. You can compare him to the Laudrup brothers, but only time will tell if Eriksen can reach the same level.”
