This summer, Tottenham Hotspur will be in the market for a creative midfielder to assist in helping create scoring chances to help lessen the responsibility on Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
Dejan Kulusevski was brought in to help in this front and has adapted to the Premier League, but the north London club wants that no. 10 to help them, and talkSPORT reports Spurs are looking to reunite with a former player to fill that role.
“I think he [Eriksen] would step aside [at Brentford] if he could return back to a Spurs, or an Arsenal, somebody of that ilk,” pundit Simon Jordan said.
“Maybe he deserves that opportunity… Maybe the player might decide with all that love and support I’ve got here [at Brentford] I’m going to stay at Brentford.”
The English media outlet states that Tottenham, along with their north London rival Arsenal, is eyeing Christian Eriksen, whose contract expires with Brentford in June.
After dealing with a cardiac arrest last summer, Eriksen had to leave Inter Milan when Serie A didn’t allow him to play due to the implemented device. As a result, the 30-year-old signed with Brentford on a six-month deal.
Eriksen has since shown he can still play at a high level at Brentford, which has resulted in some of the top six clubs taking an interest in the midfielder.
