Ian Wright says Tottenham are really missing player Jose Mourinho sold now

Ian Wright has now suggested that Tottenham Hotspur are currently really mis🉐sing Christian Erikse✃n.

Wright Tottenham’s 1-1 draw with Eveಞrton on his Wr🍌ighty’s House podcast.

He was quick to praise Ivan Perisic for his performance that day, but💙 suggested S♍purs were still lacking something.

Creating chances has been a problem all season for Spurs, with Son Heung-min and Dejan Kulusevski not at their best.

Harry Kane is a world-class playmaker when he drops deep, but Tottenha♏m desperately need him closer to goal.

Pedro Porro was brought in to help create more oppꦑortunities from wide areas, but he’s still adapting to the Premier League.

Spurs really stru🐻ggle to build attacks centrally, with their options in midfield not really suited to that sort of build-up🅠 play.

Rodrigo Bentancur and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have both contributed in front of ♏goal this season.

However, Ian Wright believes that Christian Eriksen would solve Tottenham’s issues in that regard.

The Dane has looked back to his best at Manchester United befor💜e picking up an injury.

Wright says Tottenham are really missing Eriksen

Speakinౠg on his podcast, : “Tottenham, they’re a creative midfielder [away], they’re Christian Eriksen away.

“Christian Eriksen when Everton goes down to ten men, takes th⛎at game over, that ends up three, four💝-nil.

“They need that𝔉 player, they need that player, when are they going to get that player!”

Eriksen spent near💜ly✨ seven years at Spurs, racking up more than 300 appearances for the club.

In that tꦗime, he scored 69 goals and provided 90 assists which is a seriously impressive record.

Eriksen’s tally of seven assists this season trumps ev🤪ery player in the Tottenham squad, so it’s easy to see where Wright’s coming from.

Jamie O’Hara said earlier in the season that ♊he was gutted that Eriksen signed for Manchester United in the summer.

Tottenham walked away from the chance🎃ꦑ to sign Eriksen when his contract expired at Brenftford.

It’s now𝓰 not looking like the wisest decisi💯on at Spurs are forced to persevere with a system that doesn’t seem to be clicking.

Cristian S𓆏tellini doesn’t have the options available to him to switch it up in midfield right now.

That’s partly down to injuries, but Tottenham’s recruitment hasn’t he🐬lped the situation.
