Christian Eriksen’s future will be decided in summer – Thomas Frank

Brentford boss Thomas Frank says Christian Eriksen’s future will be decided at the end of the season.

Eriksen’s short-term contract expires at the end of the current campaign and his performances for the Bees in recent weeks will have attracted the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs.

Tottenham will be one of those and the Dane showed his former club what they were missing as he was the most creative player on the pitch in a 0-0 draw on Saturday evening which was a big blow to the Champions League hopes of Spurs.

Frank is desperate for Eriksen to remain in west London but says a decision will be made when this campaign is over.

“I would love to say that I am confident, I am very positive and very hopeful that he will stay but it will be a decision at the end of the season,” he said.

“I will do what I can but it’s down to Christian, where it’s like everything if you decide to go to one club or another, you buy that house or another house, you take that job or another job.

“There must be pros and cons and I always say if you make it an eight-two decision, where you have eight pros and two cons, then you are in a good position.

“I hope Christian makes the right choice for him and his family and I really hope it will be us.”

Spurs would have loved Eriksen in their side at the Brentford Community Stadium as they were devoid of all attacking creativity and went through a second successive game without registering a shot on target.

The Denmark international, whose recovery from a cardiac arrest last summer has been miraculous, created both of Brentford’s best chances as Ivan Toney twice hit the woodwork from set-piece deliveries.
