Ajax attacker Hakim Ziyech played a crucial role for his side as they progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League by beating Juventus 2-1 on Tuesday night, and some Tottenham fans certainly believe he could replace Christian Eriksen if the Dane leaves.

Rumours have persisted about a possible exit in recent months with Spanish media outlet El Confidencial reporting earlier this month that Real Madrid have made the 27-year-old one of their top transfer targets.

The midfielder's future is certainly in some doubt seeing as he has little over 12 months remaining on his contract with the north London outfit, and with no signs as of yet that he is willing to extend his stay with Spurs.

Ziyech, who was signed by Ajax for €11m (£9.5m) in 2016 would certainly be an intriguing potential successor to Eriksen's throne, and he showed the quality that he has with an assist for Donny van de Beek against Juve.

The Morocco international now has 19 goals and a further 20 assists in 42 appearances in all competitions this season for the Dutch giants, and Tottenham supporters are clearly impressed with what they have seen.
