Transfer deadline day: Eriksen’s new club confirmed

 

Brentford have confirmed that Christian Eriksen has signed a contract with the club.

The Denmark midfielder makes a remarkable return to football, only seven months after suffering a cardiac arrest while competing for his country at Euro 2020.

Eriksen has signed a deal with the Premier League side until the end of the 2021-22 campaign.

“I am looking forward to working with Christian again,” Brentford manager, Thomas Frank, said on Monday.

“It has been a while since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then. Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to appear in the Premier League.

“He has also won trophies all over Europe and become the star of the Danish national team.”

The midfielder saw his contract terminated at Inter Milan, as he is unable to play in Serie A after being fitted with an cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device.
