Eight players have been nominated for the EA SPORTS Player of the Month for December. We look at each candidate.
Christian Eriksen
P5 W4 D0 L1
Goals 4 Assists 2
Christian Eriksen started December with two goals and an assist to fire Tottenham Hotspur to a 5-0 home victory over Swansea City.
The Dane was integral to Spurs’ four victories from five matches last month, following up his brace against Swansea with another double to beat Hull City, before finishing the December period with an assist in a 4-1 win at Southampton.
In total he recorded four goals and two assists as Mauricio Pochettino’s charges reignited their Premier League title charge.
“He is one of the hardest workers I know,” Spurs team-mate Jan Vertonghen told tottenhamhotspur.com last month. “He works hard on his set-pieces, he’s scoring goals and I think something like this (scoring goals) is what he deserves.”
