Sky Sports pundit Gabby Agbonlahor says he could '100%' see Tottenham Hotspur re-signing Christian Eriksen during the upcoming transfer window.
The Lowdown: Spurs make contact with Eriksen
The 30-year-old arrived back in the Premier League when he joined Brentford on a six-month deal in January, but his short-term contract is set to expire at the end of June, making him a free agent for any potential suitors interested in securing his services.
A Lilywhites source has told Football Insider that Spurs have been in contact with the midfielder and they would be interested in bringing him back to north London.
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano also revealed over the weekend that Thomas Frank’s side have submitted a ‘serious’ offer to the Dane, but he is considering his options with several clubs in the mix.
The Latest: Agbonlahor supports Eriksen move
Speaking to Football Insider on whether he could see Eriksen making the move back to Tottenham, Agbonlahor said: “100 percent.
“I don’t think he left on good terms to go to Inter Milan but he went to Inter Milan under Conte.
“Conte is going to know him well. I think he had a shaky start under Conte but then started to play under him.
“It’s an option, definitely. It just depends on what Eriksen wants to do with so many offers on the table.
“He might want to try something different. It’s just good to see clubs willing to take a chance on him now.
“You’ve got to give credit to Brentford as the first one who decided to take that chance. He can prove that he can be fine with the procedure that he’s had because he played so many games.”

The Verdict: Perfect addition after Bissouma?
Spurs look set to secure the signing of Yves Bissouma in the coming days, with Gary Jacob reporting this week that the Brighton midfield enforcer is set for a medical in north London over a £25m move.
Eriksen meanwhile has already enjoyed a hugely successful spell with Spurs, having made a staggering 304 appearances for the club across all competitions, so it wouldn't come as any surprise to see him come through the door next after Bissouma.
This season, the 115-cap international has been in impressive form for Brentford, with four assists and one goal to his name in just 11 outings, as per Transfermarkt, and he could add the sprinkling of creativity to the squad while the Seagulls star adds the steel deeper in the team.
With director of football Fabio Paratici said to have promised Antonio Conte up to six new signings as he looks to rebuild his squad ahead of the start of the new season, adding two fresh faces to a position that is expected to lose Harry Winks this summer would be excellent for squad depth.
