Former Denmark ace Stig Tofting has dubbed Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen as the best Danish player since Michael Laudrup - while also issuing him some transfer advice.
Both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have been heavily linked with a move for the Spurs talent, who is out of contract at the end of the season, with interest from the Spanish capital being long-term.
Eriksen stated his desire to leave Spurs during the summer transfer window but a move failed to materialise, leaving the former Ajax man running down the final year of his deal.
Mauricio Pochettino's side could sanction his departure in January in order to receive a fee for his services and Tofting believes Bayern are the best fit for the 27-year-old.
“For me, Christian is currently the best Danish player in the world and he’s the biggest talent in Denmark since Michael Laudrup,” he told Sport1 .
“Even if he does not have a good day he still plays at a high level, as he has repeatedly demonstrated at Tottenham. He’s not free in the head right now, but if Real deals with you, it does something to a player.
“I think he should decide for Bayern, which he fits like an a**e in a bucket!”
Elaborating on his comments regarding his preferred destination for Eriksen, Tofting made it clear that he is not a 'glamour' player like Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba.
“I’d rather see Christian at Bayern Munich. For Real Madrid, he would have to sell a huge number of jerseys and he’s not such a glamour boy," he explained.
“In Madrid, a powerful man sits at the calculator thinking: ‘How much does Eriksen cost and how many jerseys can he sell?’
“Christian is not the big superstar, he’s not big-gestured, he doesn’t want to be the centre of attention, he’s not a Pogba. He’s very introverted and down to earth. He lets his feet speak.”
