Brentford defender Jansson: Eriksen has Zlatan aura - without the ego

Brentford defender Pontus Jansson says Christian Eriksen has a special aura about him.

Eriksen will play in a friendly today as he prepares for his Bees debut.

"From the first day he arrived, it was with an aura. He was not as a superstar, but as someone who had played with the best teams in the world. I have played with such a player before in the form of Zlatan on the national team," said Jansson.

"They have something special, you can see that when they have the ball for their feet. But Christian is different from Zlatan. When I played with Zlatan he was the superstar.

"With Zlatan, it was him and ten lousy players on the national team. Christian knows he has good players next to him. Christian is of course the best player in our squad, but we are not that far behind him."
