As per Football Insider, Tottenham Hotspur are lining up a move to bring Brentford midfielder Christen Eriksen back to North London in the summer transfer window.Â
The lowdown: The show must go on…
Following a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, Eriksen was unable to play for Inter Milan in Serie A and a stellar career was in danger of being prematurely cut short.
However, following a spell training with former club Ajax, the 30-year-old was signed by Thomas Frank at Brentford during the January window as a free agent.
Since then, the creative Dane has made an instant impact in the Premier League and made a successful return to the international fold, heightening speculation over a possible major summer move…
The latest: Spurs eyeing reunion
According to a recruitment source at FI, Tottenham are believed to be ‘keeping tabs’ on Eriksen ahead of a swoop at the end of the season.
It’s claimed that the Lilywhites are ‘among’ a host of English top-flight clubs monitoring the 111-cap Denmark star who was once hailed as ‘special’ by Mauricio Pochettino.
Set to become a free agent in July when a short term deal expires at Brentford, ex-Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte could reunite with Eriksen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium having selected the creative ace on 60 occasions whilst together in Italy.
The verdict: Make it happen
Sentiment aside, the Dane’s quality has been evident for all to see by his sensational return to football and bringing him back to Tottenham for free would be a superb piece of business by recruitment chief Fabio Paratici.
Since signing for Brentford, Eriksen has scored once and provided two assists in six outings – earning an outstanding 7.47 average SofaScore rating in the process, making three big chances, producing 1.8 key passes a game and delivering 37.5 (81%) accurate passes on average per appearance.
Not only a player of undoubted ability, but the three-time Danish Footballer of the Year also possesses unrivalled experience that would be of great benefit to Conte’s fledgling squad as the Italian looks to take Spurs to the next stage of their development.
