# Tottenham Hotspur: Mark Douglas drops Christian Eriksen update

**Writing for [inews](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/christian-eriksen-tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-antonio-conte-brentford-1560179), reliable journalist Mark Douglas has delivered an interesting transfer update regarding Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford attacking midfielder Christian Eriksen.**

### The lowdown: Fairytale comeback

The 30-year-old was an icon in north London prior to moving to Inter Milan in 2020, scoring [69 times and providing an astonishing 90 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/69633) in 305 outings for the Lilywhites.

Having [won the Serie A title](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/erfolge/spieler/69633) in Italy under Spurs boss Antonio Conte, Eriksen’s career at the San Siro came to an abrupt end when Italian regulations meant the Danish star couldn’t return to the club following a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020.

Since then the cultured midfielder has signed for Brentford on a short-term deal and made a successful return to the international fold, [scoring](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12577648/eriksens-cracker-for-denmark) in the most recent international break.

### The latest: Reunion on the cards?

Citing his report on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/msidouglas/status/1511996728551120898?s=21&t=rIZM23cfz6KjjnngpLPShA), Douglas stated that Tottenham are amongst the clubs ‘queuing up’ and ‘keen’ to sign Eriksen this summer.

Out of contract at the end of this season ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/profil/spieler/69633)), it’s claimed that Spurs are ‘interested in a reunion’ with the [111-cap ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/profil/spieler/69633) as Conte attempts to bolster the ranks.

As per senior sources at [inews](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/christian-eriksen-tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-antonio-conte-brentford-1560179), there have been ‘no talks’ of an extension with Brentford at present and while Manchester United and Newcastle also watch on with interest, Tottenham are ‘paying the closest attention’.

### The verdict: No-brainer

Back in 2019, Spurs placed a minimum eye-watering £100million price tag on the creative Dane ([The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/tottenham-place-100m-price-tag-on-christian-eriksen-jdzrmqpk2)), a reflection of the class and indeed importance of Eriksen to Mauricio Pochettino’s side at the time.

Since returning to competitive action, the man recently hailed as [‘unbelievable’](https://www.goal.com/en/news/unbelievable-eriksen-form-stuns-frank-brentford-hammer/blt1de493d3b93c5da0) by manager and compatriot Thomas Frank has [scored once and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdaten/spieler/69633) in four Premier League outings.

Having proven to still be a first-class operator, both Fabio Paratici and Conte should be pushing hard to bring Eriksen to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, particularly as a free agent in order to leave the budget untouched for elsewhere in the squad.
