Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen has lauded Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale.

The 26-year-old will face Bale in the Nations League when Denmark travel to Wales on Wednesday.

Eriksen said: "He's a top, top player. Nobody in the world is the same as Messi or Ronaldo, but he's in a group who are very, very close behind them.

"He has been playing at Real Madrid for a long time now and he has done very well there. Even to ask the question about how he compares to Messi or Ronaldo shows he is up there.

"Bale is someone who can always give them something extra. He does it in any team he plays for."
