Craig Bellamy Expects Tottenham Star to Join Real Madrid or Barcelona After Stunning Form

Craig Bellamy has raved about Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen, and believes he will leave the club for Barcelona or Real Madrid, according to This Is Futbol.

Danish midfielder Eriksen joined Spurs in 2013, but after a difficult start in London under Andre Villas-Boas he has become one of the Premier League's best under Mauricio Pochettino and has been part of a Spurs side which has challenged for the title two seasons running.

Eriksen has been linked with a move away, particularly to Barcelona and Real Madrid, the latter of whom he scored against last week in Spurs' brilliant Champions League win at Wembley. 

Ex-Newcastle, Liverpool, West Ham and Man City forward Craig Bellamy spoke of his admiration for Eriksen, but believes a big move is almost inevitable. 

Speaking in 'The Debate', a podcast for Sky Sports, the Welshman said: “I can see him being at Spurs for a certain period and then Real Madrid or Barcelona because I believe his quality is that high."

Eriksen will be busy over the international break as he bids to help Denmark overcome the Republic of Ireland in the World Cup play-offs, where the winners over two legs will qualify for next summer's tournament in Russia. Should Denmark and Eriksen make it, it would be their first qualification since the 2010 edition.
