# Everton: Toffees ask about Christian Eriksen

**Everton have enquired about the possibility of signing Christian Eriksen, according to [Football London’s Alasdair Gold](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/tottenham-christian-eriksen-transfer-conte-24271001).**

### The lowdown

Eriksen is currently a free agent, having reached the end of his short-term contract with Brentford.

Brentford picked him up in January on a deal running until the end of the season after Serie A medical rules forced Inter Milan to terminate his contract (via [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/brentford-sign-christian-eriksen-on-six-month-contract/arHUQDXFoNt5/)).

Everton boss Frank Lampard is intent on strengthening in central midfield during the transfer window, [The Liverpool Echo’s Christopher Beesley says](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-qa-transfers-lampard-winks-24270655).

### The latest

Everton are named ([via Football.London](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/tottenham-christian-eriksen-transfer-conte-24271001)) as one of seven sides to make contact with Eriksen’s camp, along with Brentford, Tottenham, Manchester United, Newcastle, Leicester City and West Ham.

The Dane is currently enjoying a post-season holiday and is yet to make a decision on his next move.

‘There had been some suggestions’ that Eriksen’s priority is to stay to London, but he’s said to be willing to play elsewhere.

### The verdict

Eriksen impressed during his spell with the Bees, [scoring one goal and providing four assists](https://fbref.com/en/players/980522ec/Christian-Eriksen).

He’s similar in style to [Manchester City’s Kevin de Bruyne](https://fbref.com/en/players/980522ec/Christian-Eriksen), who is only of only two Premier League players (along with Trent Alexander-Arnold) to better his record of [0.35 expected assists](https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/stats/Premier-League-Stats) per 90 last season (min. five starts).

Intriguingly, Dominic Calvert-Lewin [is said](https://theathletic.com/3371066/2022/06/20/richarlison-calvert-lewin-everton-futures/) to have grown frustrated by the absence of a supply line at Goodison Park following the departures of Lucas Digne and James Rodriguez. Eriksen could help to fill that creative void, and potentially convince the striker to stay put.
