Ajax chief Edwin van der Sar has no doubts Christian Eriksen is capable of inspiring Tottenham to the Premier League title.

Van der Sar feels it's now time for the Dane to step up to a new level.

“Yeah I think he should do [make the step up]," said Van der Sar.

“He had three or four years with Ajax and did fantastic and then at Tottenham he took a year, two years to adapt a little bit.

“Now you see his assists his goals – also for Denmark in the last two games he created goals.

“It is probably the right time next year for him to hopefully get a step up, or Tottenham are making their way up – they finished second now and maybe they can have the next step to win the league."
