Maurizio Sarri : I like Eriksen a lot.

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has revealed that he is a huge admirer of  Tottenham Hotspurs playmaker, Christian Eriksen. He revealed this during his pre-match conference at Chelsea's Cobham Training Center. Both sides face each other on Saturday and when asked who his favourite Spurs player was, Maurizio Sarri was quick to point out that besides Harry Kane, Eriksen is a player he admires a lot.

He said, " Of course, Harry Kane is the best English striker at the moment so he is a very important player , but i have to say another name. I like Eriksen very much because he is a very smart player".

"He is a very technical player . He is able to play in midfield and score eight or nine goals a season. I think he is a very important player", Sarri added. "I like him very much but i don't want to talk about a player of Tottenham for the transfer market, of course, i am only answering the question".

Christian Eriksen has caused problems for Chelsea in recent matches between the two sides and Maurizio Sarri would be hoping his players would be able to keep him silent tomorrow.
