Modric is one of the best midfielders in world football, however with the Croat set to turn 33 later this month, Real should definitely think about replacing the former Spurs man in the not-too-distant future.

And given how he’s perform for the north London side in recent season, Eriksen definitely looks capable of being the man to fill the void that could be left by Modric.

The Danish international has been superb for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in recent seasons, with the player constantly bagging double figures for assists in each of his last three league campaigns.

Only time will tell if Real listen to Bale and move for Eriksen, a player who could easily be a mainstay in Real’s side for years to come if he ends up moving to the club.
