Christian Eriksen back to Premier League? Brentford among many approaching the Danish International

Denmark International and former Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen is all set to make his return to the Premier League. According to reports by The Athletic, Brentford is currently locked in transfer talks with Christian Eriksen.

Christian Eriksen is yet to set foot on the Football pitch ever since suffering a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 game with Finland on 12 June. He went on to get released from his former club Inter Milan as Internazionale terminated his contract last month by mutual consent. This is because the Italian medical authority suspended him from playing in Serie A due to a rule prohibiting the use of a cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device he has had implanted.

The 29-year old revealed earlier this month he “died for five minutes” before being revived by medics, who gave life-saving treatment on the pitch. He also told the Danish broadcaster DR that he wants to play at this year’s World Cup.

“My goal is to play in the World Cup in Qatar,” Eriksen said.

“I want to play. That’s been my mindset all along. It’s a goal, a dream. Whether I’ll be picked is another thing. But it’s my dream to come back. I’m sure I can because I don’t feel any different. Physically, I’m back in top shape.

“My dream is to rejoin the national team and play at [Denmark’s national stadium] Parken again and prove that it was a one-timer and that it won’t happen again.

“I want to prove I’ve moved on and that I can play [for] the national team again. Again, it’s up to the manager to assess my level. But my heart is not an obstacle.”
