Dele Alli admits he enjoys playing with Tottenham teammate Christian Eriksen.

Alli explained that the three-time Danish Footballer of the Year had a positive influence on him – both in training and in games.

“Christian is a great player – there's no hiding the fact that he's world class and he's a joy to play with," said the 20-year-old to the Spurs website.

“He's one of the players that you enjoy working with every day in training. You get to watch him and see how hard he works on the training field and when you do that it's no surprise when he produces on matchdays the way he does.

“As a young player, to be able to watch someone like Eriksen, who is obviously young as well, for me it's a great privilege."
