So what if Tottenham are struggling in the league? Now that they're into the last eight of the Champions League, Mauricio Pochettino has taken yet another step to show how good a manager he is.

Yes, the team may be frustratingly inconsistent at times but when they turn it on, they turn it on. Now that Harry Kane is back and amongst the goals once again, Tottenham just need to work on their chance creation and keep it tight at the back to put themselves back on course to keep their place in the top four.

Whether they enjoy a successful season or not, they could be waving goodbye to their biggest creative outlet Christian Eriksen, who has been linked with a move to Spain. Namely Real Madrid, who are reportedly (as per the Independent) eyeing the Dane.

Although it would be very tricky to find a replacement as good as him, Villarreal's Pablo Fornals could fill the void remarkably well.

Fornals, (who is valued at £27 million on Transfermarkt) is being chased by Tottenham and Arsenal apparently (via the Express), after producing a number of eye-catching performances this season.

The 23-year-old has been a shining light in what's been a weird season for The Yellow Submarine. Despite being just one point away from the relegation zone, the Spanish side are well on their way to securing a place in the quarter-final of the Europa League.

With a move to England and specifically Tottenham, Fornals won't have to worry about fighting relegation, rather fighting for the title instead.

He is a top playmaker that if given the right amount of service that he's sure to get at Tottenham, could provide even more than the four goals and five assists he has stumped up so far this season.

Tottenham fans, would you back Fornals as a potential replacement for Eriksen? If not, why not? Join the discussion by commenting below...
