Christian Eriksen could be considering staying at Brentford after a successful short spell with the Bees, amid interest from former club Tottenham.
According to The Telegraph, Christian Eriksen could stay put at Brentford for the foreseeable future, with the London side keen to extend his contract. The Danish star has been in good form since successfully returning to action after suffering a cardiac arrest during Euro 2020 and has been linked with a return to former club Tottenham.
Christian Eriksen brought the footballing world together after suffering an unfortunate cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark at the Euro 2020. After that horrific day, hardly anyone thought they would see the midfielder back on the pitch, and the 30-year-old has done the impossible in recent months.
When the incident happened he was still contracted with Inter Milan, and due to Serie A’s policy of not allowing a player to take the field with a pacemaker, he had to depart the club. There were a few glances from multiple sides, but Brentford came up with a concrete offer, handing Eriksen a six-month deal during the January transfer window.
Despite several doubts over his long-term prospects, Eriksen has regained top form in the Premier League, helping Brentford avert any dangers of being dragged into a relegation battle. He also scored one goal, which came against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
As the season comes to a close, there is the question of where Eriksen might play his football next season. Brentford are keen on retaining the Dane at the club, although there are glances from multiple Premier League sides, including his former side Tottenham, who remain interested in signing the attacking midfielder.
Eriksen was reportedly keen on re-joining Tottenham, and the north Londoners are interested in exploring a deal. Tottenham are a familiar surrounding for the 30-year-old, while he also knows Antonio Conte after the duo worked together and won the Serie A title last season.
Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are also interested in offering a contract in the summer, and all eyes will be glued on Erinksen’s decision over his future. If the current report is accurate, the Dane is considering staying put at Brentford.
The report claims that Eriksen is looking for residential options closer to the Brentford Community Stadium, indicating he could remain at the club next season. However, considering the interest in the attacking midfielder, he will have plenty of offers to choose from in the summer.
He might evaluate multiple factors when the season ends and will be keen to understand where he might be playing regularly. As things stand, at Brentford, Eriksen is guaranteed a spot in the starting eleven, which might not be the case at Tottenham.
The Danish midfielder’s ultimate goal is to represent Denmark at the World Cup later this year, for which playing regularly is a must. The player has also reiterated he is in top physical shape without any complications and remains hungry for success. As for his future, a clearer picture should emerge in the coming weeks.
