Christian Eriksen's arrival at Tottenham at the tail end of their summer splurge in 2013 was not given the significance it deserved.
The best player in the Eredivisie and one of the most exciting talents to have emerged from that football factory in decades, Eriksen was signed for a steal. He was one of three players whose signatures were confirmed on the same day and arrived for a reported £11 million fee.
On that day Erik Lamela garnered the most attention while the signing of Romania captain Vlad Chiriches was a curiosity that sucked the oxygen away from Eriksen.
