Danish international Christian Eriksen, who suffered cardiac arrest during a match at the last European Championship, will train with the Ajax subsidiary “until he finds a new club,” the Amsterdam team reported on Tuesday. “I am very happy to be here. I know people at Ajax, it’s like coming home,” the footballer said in a statement from the Dutch team, in which he played between 2010 and 2013.
Eriksen reached an agreement on December 17 with Inter Milan to terminate his contract because, since he suffered a heart attack at the European Championship, he has been wearing a defibrillator, a contraindicated device for practicing professional football in Italy.
The player himself said at the beginning of the year that his goal is to play the 2022 Qatar World Cup with Denmark. “I want to get back to my best level as soon as possible so that when I find a new club, I can do well as soon as possible,” he said today. The coach of the Ajax subsidiary, John Heitinga, celebrated Eriksen’s presence in training and assured that “he is an example for many of our boys, a source of inspiration for the youth to improve”.
However, it seems unlikely that Eriksen will play for the Amsterdam club again. As published by “De Telegraaf”, the most widely read newspaper in the Netherlands, his agent is negotiating his signing for the English team Brentford, a team that renewed Danish coach Thomas Frank last Monday.
