Brentford interested in Eriksen
According to the ANP, the English Premier League club Brentford would be interested in the player, who expressed, in early January, the wish to play in the 2022 World Cup.
Eriksen terminated his contract with Inter Milan in December following authorities in Italy banned any professional player with a pacemaker from practicing in that country.
On June 12 in Copenhagen, the former Tottenham player collapsed in the middle of a match once morest Finland, at the opening of the Euro. A medical team had to perform cardiac massage on the ground in order to revive him.
Hospitalized, the player was given a pacemaker to regulate his heart rate.
