Former Ajax boss Frank de Boer believes that Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen is good enough to play for Barcelona.

The Denmark international has been ever-present in Mauricio Pochettino's team, starting in all but one of the club's 32 Premier League games so far this season.

Eriksen does not always make the headlines, but he has played a large part in helping the team push Chelsea in the title race.

The 25-year-old has scored 11 goals and 14 assists in all competitions, and De Boer believes that the midfielder is ready for a step up.

The ex-Inter Milan boss is very familiar with Eriksen having coached him at Ajax for three years before he made the move to White Hart Lane in 2013.

Eriksen only signed a new four-year contract at Spurs in September last year, indicating that he sees his future in North London, but De Boer thinks that it is time to move on.

He told Ziggo Sports:

“I think he’s has a great career in the making. First Ajax, then to Tottenham at the highest level. I think he is ready for a step higher. Tottenham is a great club, but he has everything that a Barcelona player needs. Christian has an overview, work ethic. Left, right, assists, he can score. He is quite complete."
