Eriksen, Lampard, Gerrard: Which midfielders have the most goal contributions in PL history?

Christian Eriksen is officially back in the Premier League.

The Danish superstar has completed his comeback from the cardiac arrest he suffered in a match against Finland at Euro 2020, signing for newly-promoted Brentford on a short-term deal.

It's certainly one of the feel-good footballing stories of the year and we now cannot wait to watch Eriksen weave his magic in Premier League stadiums once again.

The 29-year-old lit up the English top-flight during his stint at Tottenham Hotspur between 2013 and 2020. He was named the club's Player of the Year in both 2013/14 and 2016/17.

Eriksen, a four-time Danish Football Player of the Year, was just a joy to watch in his prime at Spurs and he's also one of the most prolific midfielders in Premier League history.

In terms of goal and assist contributions combined, the former Ajax and Inter Milan man ranks 12th among all midfielders over on Transfermarkt.
