BREAKING: Barcelona confirm Premier league star player as the perfect person to replace Andres Iniesta at Barcelona

​A midfielder currently starring in the English Premier League has been backed to replaced FC Barcelona superstar Andres Iniesta, who is set to leave the LaLiga giants at the end of the season.

Iniesta announced on Friday that he will be leaving the Catalan giants at the end of the campaign, with a move to China reportedly on the cards.

RB Leipzig forward  Yussuf Poulsen believes Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen is capable of replacing the 33-year-old at Barca.

“Yes. Of course there will be more competition at Barcelona than at Tottenham,” Poulsen told Omnisport.

“He has got a very good standing at Tottenham right now and he has to ascertain if it is the right moment.

“Of course there will be a vacancy if Andres Iniesta leaves the club and Christian Eriksen has definitely the quality to compete on the highest level. Therefore I understand why Barcelona is interested in him.”
