‘I would love that’ – Frank reveals desire to keep Eriksen at Brentford

Brentford boss Thomas Frank admits he would “love” to keep Christian Eriksen in west London beyond this season.

Playmaker Eriksen has been in sparkling form with the Bees – registering three wins from as many starts – but his short-term deal expires in the summer.

The 30-year-old grabbed his first Premier League goal since suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 during last weekend’s thumping 4-1 win at Chelsea.

Former club Tottenham and top-flight rivals Manchester United and Newcastle are among those reported to be interested in tempting him away from west London.

While Brentford boss Frank does not expect an update until the end of the campaign, he retains hope of holding on to his fellow Dane.

“I think I am going to get this question before and after each game until something is decided either way,” he replied when asked about the future of Eriksen.

“The thing is that I don’t think anything will be decided before the end of the season. We are interested for him to stay, massively – I would love that.

“When or when not that is confirmed, that’s where we can say something. I could say we’re speaking every week or we’re not speaking every week but it’s actually irrelevant.

“I think you all understand we would like to keep him and it’s up to Christian to find out what he wants to do.

“I think we have a chance (of keeping him) – 100 per cent.”

Eriksen had an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted after collapsing on the pitch during Denmark’s European Championship match with Finland last summer.
