# Tottenham Hotspur: Michael Bridge backs big Christian Eriksen transfer news

**[Sky Sports reporter Michael Bridge](https://twitter.com/MichaelBridge_?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) has now backed some big transfer news out of Tottenham Hotspur involving playmaker and former hero Christian Eriksen.**

### The Lowdown: Conte in the mix…

In recent weeks, a major Spurs update has come to light as the Lilywhites and manager Antonio Conte eye a ‘[stunning](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-plot-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-as-his-stance-revealed/)‘ return for Eriksen nearly two and a half years after his exit to Inter Milan.

The Dane is currently enjoying a fairy-tale Premier League stint at Brentford after suffering a cardiac arrest on the pitch at Euro 2020 – with his brilliant form prompting interest from all over England.

[90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/christian-eriksen-brentford-face-battle-keep-midfielder-tottenham-interested) claim that a host of clubs, including Tottenham, are interested in snapping up the 30-year-old on a Bosman when his Bees contract expires this summer.

[The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/harry-kane-set-to-stay-at-tottenham-as-club-consider-move-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-8k9gqnlf0#) also say that transfer chief Fabio Paratici and the club are indeed weighing a move for Eriksen with Sky journalist Bridge now joining in.

### The Latest: Bridge backs big Eriksen news…

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/87996753-tottenham-keeping-tabs-on-pl-star-with-160-assists-conte-wants-to-work-with-him), the reporter now backs that Tottenham will indeed be in the mix, adding that Brentford boss Thomas Frank will find it very hard to keep the midfielder.

He explained: *“Spurs will be keeping tabs on him, that’s for sure. I think Brentford will find it very hard to keep him. I know people might say, ‘Well, doesn’t he owe Brentford another year?’ But it doesn’t really work like that.”*

### The Verdict: Make a move?

Following his phenomenal return to action, an inspirational story in it’s own right, there is little denying Eriksen would inject real creativity into Conte’s midfield – especially on a free deal.

According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham), only sensational January signing Dejan Kulusevski ([1.9](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)) and star forward Son Heung-min ([1.7](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)) have averaged the same or more key passes per 90 than the ex-Spurs man ([1.7](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/69344/Show/Christian-Eriksen)) in the Premier League this season.

Paratici is reportedly eyeing up quality players on dwindling contracts to bolster Conte’s options this summer ([The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10498021/Tottenham-Fabio-Paratici-set-target-upcoming-talents-players-dwindling-contracts.html)) and we believe Eriksen stands out as one of their most proven options in this bracket.

Conte, as per [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/04/20/antonio-conte-targets-six-summer-signings-spurs-face-homegrown/), also wants two new midfielders with his former Nerazzurri man coming as an extremely shrewd option.
