    And Gravesen, who himself made a move from Premier League side Everton to Real Madrid, believes Eriksen’s skill can see him fit in at any club in the world.<\/p>\n

    “I’ve always said that only Eriksen thinks carefully about where he plays,” Gravesen told Ekstra Bladet, as reported by Marca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    “He can choose from any club in the world!<\/p>\n

    “There isn’t a place where Christian couldn’t play, and he’ll be great. It will be brilliant to see another Dane at Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

    “He has the talent to do it, and he would be under [Zinedine] Zidane’s wings at a club in the process of rebuilding.<\/p>\n

    “Christian knows that he can and must gamble. When a club are willing to pay such a huge price for him it’s because they want to build a team around Eriksen.”<\/p>\n

    Eriksen was part of the Tottenham team which remarkable came from 3-0 down on aggregate to reach their first Champions League final on away goals after a 3-3 draw with Ajax.<\/p>\n
