The Athletic writes about Eriksen’s possible arrival, which usually has accurate information from behind the scenes.
The 29-year-old midfielder had to end his engagement at Inter Milan last December because he could not play in Italy due to a operated defibrillator.
However, it is not forbidden in England, which is why he could get a six-month contract in the fourteenth Premier League team with an option for another season.
Eriksen has been training in the three-league Swiss Chiass. In an interview with Danish television, he confessed that he was dreaming of returning to the national team and starting the World Cup, which takes place at the end of the year in Qatar.
If his transfer to Brentford worked out, Eriksen would return to the Premier League after two years. He spent seven seasons in Tottenham. “It would be a return home for him,” Eriksen’s agent Martin Schoots said.
Before Tottenham, he also played for Ajax Amsterdam, collecting 109 starts for the national team. But he almost died last year in football.
In the opening match of the European Championship against Finland in the 43rd minute, he took over from his teammate Joakim Maehle and suddenly fell helplessly to the ground. His heart failed.
There was no tragedy thanks to the rapid intervention of the doctors who brought Eriksen back to life with the help of a defibrillator.
After twelve minutes of treatment at Eriksen’s pitch, they were taken from the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen on a stretcher and taken to a hospital in a stable condition.
It wasn’t played for almost two hours. Players and fans were shocked and tense over how Eriksen would turn out.
In the end, at the request of both teams, the Group B match was completed, Finland won with a 1-0 goal from the end of the match.
Eriksen underwent several examinations. Less than a week after the collapse, he underwent surgery and received a cardioverter-defibrillator, which monitors his heart.
He can continue his football career, but Eriksen has not yet been in a position to overburden him as a professional athlete.
At the end of the year, he terminated his contract at Inter Milan, because he is not allowed to play with an operated implant in Italy. The rules don’t allow it.
In the Netherlands, for example, Daley Blind replaces Ajax with the same heart implant.
Eriksen wants to imitate him. He feels good and trains without restrictions, although so far in an amateur club. “I want to play football again and there’s no reason why I can’t,” DR told Danish television a few days ago.
“Nothing else has happened since then, even though my heart has been tested in all sorts of ways,” he said.
A possible engagement in Brentford would test him to the extent that it is possible to continue his career after his health problems.
