Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen says teammate Christian Eriksen deserves better press.
Eriksen, 25, scored 12 times and had 23 assists in all competitions last season. He already has two of each in the League after scoring the third goal in Saturday's 3-2 win at West Ham.
Asked if Eriksen was now on the same level as the top playmakers, Vertonghen said: “I believe so, yes. He has made unbelievable progress. I have known him for many years and he has always been a great talent but in the last two seasons he has made such big steps forward. Everyone always said that with his quality, he could become the best playmaker in the world.
“He scores goals and provides assists and, when he drops deeper, he does very well. In the last two seasons, he has been enormous."
