‘Sparkling’ Eriksen being ‘monitored closely’ by two ‘Big Six’ clubs

Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen is being ‘monitored closely’ by Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur ahead of this summer.

The Denmark international made his return to football during the January transfer window. He suffered a cardiac arrest last summer and “died for five minutes” on the pitch during Euro 2020.

Eriksen thankfully recovered and he had an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) fitted so he was able to play football again.

The 30-year-old has been in superb form for Brentford and Denmark in recent weeks. He scored as the Bees beat Chelsea 4-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.

His future at Brentford is in doubt as his current deal is due to expire in June.

The Daily Mail state that Eriksen is ‘sparkling’ currently and they are reporting that Man Utd and Tottenham are both ‘monitoring him closely’.

On Eriksen, Brentford boss Thomas Frank said: “I know Christian quite well and one thing he’s good at is just enjoying the moment. And I think he’s enjoying it even more.

“So we are not thinking too much of what is going to happen in two or three months’ time.

“I’m just very pleased he’s playing for us. It’s no secret that I want him to continue next season.”

Elsewhere, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has admitted his side’s big win over Newcastle was important for helping them trust the work they are doing.

“When you see your team play this way, you enjoy. We played a really good game. Newcastle is not easy to face them. They try to be compact and deep to not concede great space. Despite that we went 1-0 down and scored.
