He had a good first season but really took off under Mauricio Pochettino starting in the summer of 2014. Eriksen became a key cog in Pochettino&#8217;s side, with his devastating creative talents allowing attackers like Harry Kane and Dele Alli to hit the heights of super stardom.<\/p>\n<p>Eriksen rarely attracts attention and praise for himself, even when performing spectacular things on the field. Goalscorers obviously overshadowed him, but even in terms of creators he was never adorned as the best. It was always other, more illustrious names that stole the headlines whilst Eriksen just carried on battling away, being massively unappreciated.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"background-color: transparent; display: block; padding: 0; max-width: 700px;\" title=\"Audioboom player\" src=\"https:\/\/embeds.audioboom.com\/posts\/7480587\/embed\/v4?image_option=fullsq\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>But <em>was<\/em> he unappreciated? We had a look into Opta&#8217;s stats from the last seven years of Premier League football, since the date Eriksen debuted (September 24, 2019) to try and find out. Specifically we&#8217;ve collated the top five players in six key categories to see where, if at all, Eriksen ranks amongst them.<\/p>\n<p>Was Christian Eriksen the dominant Premier League creator during his time in England? Or was he simply a midfielder who couldn&#8217;t beat the first man at corners? Let&#8217;s find out&#8230;.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Chances created<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A &#8220;chance&#8221; is defined by Opta as any pass that ends in a shot on goal. What bodes well for Eriksen here is that he plays alongside shot-happy players like Kane and Heung-min Son. Still, the Dane proved to be a constant source of chances, putting his team-mates into space where they could have a crack at goal. Eriksen created more chances than anyone else in the Premier League since his debut with 571; an enormous figure, and 20 more than second-placed Mesut Ozil.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1127558 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created.png\" alt=\"Christian Eriksen | Spurs career stats\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created.png 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-66x65.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133037\/eriksen-chances-created-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Big chances created<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Simply creating chances isn&#8217;t enough, because after all the shot that comes at the end of a pass may be a low quality one. Thus to measure the sharpness of a player&#8217;s creativity, we have Opta&#8217;s &#8216;big chance&#8217; metric, which is defined as a chance that is reasonably expected to result in a goal; either because the shooter is close to goal, has a clear path to goal, and is under little pressure.<\/p>\n<p>To this end Eriksen places second since his debut; with a massive 73 big chances created. Only Kevin de Bruyne is above him with 84, and unlike the Belgian, the Dane didn&#8217;t have the luxury of playing in the most dominant team in the league for two and a half seasons.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1127557 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created.png\" alt=\"Christian Eriksen | Spurs career stats\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created.png 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-66x65.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133033\/eriksen-big-chances-created-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Assists<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Chances, even big chances, are only truly useful to a team if they are actually scored.

Unsurprisingly, Eriksen tops this list with 62 assists, just two ahead of De Bruyne.

That doesn&#8217;t crack the top five, but given that said five is four goalscorers and a wing-wizard who got to take his team&#8217;s penalties (Eden Hazard has scored eight penalties since the start of the 2016\/17 season alone) you have to respect Eriksen&#8217;s phenomenal achievements in goalscoring.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1127560 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement.png\" alt=\"Christian Eriksen | Spurs career stats\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement.png 1080w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-66x65.png 66w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2020\/01\/27133045\/eriksen-goal-involvement-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Direct free-kick goals<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Part of Eriksen&#8217;s scoring repertoire, just like his creative one, is down to his quality from free-kicks.

Looking at goals from outside the box, which obviously includes free-kicks, Eriksen is out in front yet again.<\/p>\n<p>Since his debut he let fly and found the net from outside the area a grand total of 23 times; that&#8217;s at least five more than any other player during that time span and is perhaps the final example that Eriksen was indeed one of the most incredible and unappreciated forces during his seven year stay in the Premier League.
