Tottenham Hotspur may have been handed a boost in their pursuit of former star Christian Eriksen, according to journalist Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Lilywhites eye reunion...

The Denmark superstar's return to the grass after suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 has been nothing short of a fairy tale story.

Eriksen ended the 2021/2022 Premier League season in fine form on a temporary spell at Brentford with a return to Spurs becoming possible.

The Times add Antonio Conte's former midfielder at Inter Milan is a target for the Lilywhites alongside Leicester City playmaker Youri Tielemans, and what's more, he could be open to re-signing.

The Latest: Eriksen eyeing return...

According to Jones, speaking to GiveMeSport, if the right conditions are met, Eriksen 'would be keen on a return' to Spurs this summer as he eyes a move back to north London.

He adds that Tielemans, Weston McKennie (Juventus), Joao Palhinha (Sporting Lisbon) and Idrissa Gueye (PSG) are also potential midfield additions at Tottenham.

The Verdict: Get it done?

Eriksen has displayed flashes of his best Spurs form under Thomas Frank across London.

According to WhoScored, he finished the campaign as Brentford's best all-round performer by average match rating - making the most key passes per 90 for the Bees and displaying real creativity.

Indeed, the 'big name' attacker will also be available on a Bosman deal as things stand - arguably a snip given Spurs themselves valued at him at £100 million just three years ago.

Taking all of this into account, it may well be a no-brainer to get it done.
