Brentford sign Eriksen on short-term contract as Danish midfielder returns to football after heart problem…
Christian Eriksen, who suffered cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, is back in football at Brentford, with the Bees handing the Danish midfielder a short-term contract to the end of the 2021-22 campaign.
The 29-year-old playmaker suffered a serious health scare when representing his country at the European Championships in the summer of 2021 and has, after being fitted with a defibrillator, been away from competitive action since.
Regulations in Italy prevented him from linking back up with Inter, with his deal having to be terminated at San Siro, but the former Tottenham star is clear to resume his career in the Premier League.
What has been said?
Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who worked with Eriksen in the national youth system of Denmark, told the club’s official website: “I am looking forward to working with Christian again. It has been a while since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then.
“Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to appear in the Premier League. He has also won trophies all over Europe and become the star of the Danish national team.
