Romano reveals Tottenham have two transfer rivals to complete Christian Eriksen reunion

Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano claims Tottenham are part of a three-club race to sign Christian Eriksen from Brentford.

The attacking midfielder spent six-and-a-half years at Tottenham, where he made 305 appearances and scored 69 goals. Eriksen helped Tottenham finish second in the Premier League and reach the Champions League final during his spell in north London.

He opted to leave in search of a new challenge during January 2020. Inter Milan came in for his services and paid just under £17million to complete the deal.

Eriksen featured 60 times for the Nerazzurri and picked up a Serie A winners medal thanks to their title triumph in 2020-21.

But the star went through a hugely traumatic time while representing Denmark at the Euros last summer. He had a cardiac arrest on the pitch and had to be resuscitated.

Eriksen made a miraculous recovery and can play football again thanks to the fitting of an internal defibrillator. But rules in Italy meant he had to leave, and a transfer to Brentford followed.

Eriksen has transformed the Bees’ attacking threat since his arrival in January. Thanks to him, striker Ivan Toney can operate on the last man and be more deadly as a result.

Reports suggest Tottenham have been impressed by Eriksen’s rise back to top form and are planning to make an offer for him.

Romano provides an update on the 30-year-old’s situation and whether he could secure a move this summer.

The transfer guru states Spurs, Leicester and another ‘secret’ club all hold an interest in Eriksen.

They are waiting to pounce, should the playmaker come to a decision over his future. This will apparently happen at the end of the season.

Eriksen is ‘extremely respectful’ towards Brentford, as they gave him a route back
