According to reports, a promising Tottenham Hotspur transfer update has come to light involving Brentford playmaker Christian Eriksen.

The Lowdown: Spurs keep moving...

After the arrival of Premier League star Yves Bissouma in a £25m deal, it is believed that the Lilywhites have set their sights on other key areas of Antonio Conte's squad.

The Evening Standard claimed that transfer chief Fabio Paratici isn't done after the signing of Bissouma, who followed both Ivan Perisic and Fraser Forster through the door in N17.

Conte guiding the north Londoners to a top-four finish last month, and earning Champions League football for 2022/23 has seemingly gifted the club a new lease of life in the transfer market.

The Latest: ESPN share promising Eriksen update...

Indeed, after what has been a fantastic start to the summer transfer window for Tottenham, broadcast giant ESPN have now shared another promising update out of N17.

Contrary to other reports, they claimed that Spurs are in pole position to sign Brentford playmaker Christian Eriksen on a free transfer, with Hotspur Way cited as his 'most likely destination'.

The Verdict: New twist...

Eriksen's future appears to be taking a new twist day after day, but if this claim comes to fruition, the Dane could be quite a steal for Conte and Paratici.

Dubbed a 'star' by members of the media such as Dan Roan, former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood even called the 30-year-old 'Bergkamp-esque' in the past.

Such praise is perhaps backed by Eriksen's fine finish to the 2021/22 season with Brentford, standing out as their best player by average match rating whilst making the most key passes per 90 minutes of anyone in Thomas Frank's squad, as per WhoScored.

It seems clear by these numbers he could still play a big role for Spurs, especially on a free transfer.
