Eriksen offered six-month deal to make remarkable Premier League return

Christian Eriksen is closing in on a return to the Premier League with Brentford offering a short-term deal.

The playmaker, 29, has not made an appearance for club or country since he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 fixture against Finland in June.

Eriksen agreed to terminate his contract with Inter Milan in mid-December as he was fitted with an ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator) which prevents him from playing in Serie A.

Despite having the heart-starting device, the former Tottenham star has been given the green light by specialists to resume his professional career.

Numerous Premier League clubs have been monitoring the situation and Brentford have seized the initiative in the January transfer window by offering Eriksen a six-month contract.

As first reported by The Athletic, the Bees' proposal also includes the option to extend for another year.

Should Eriksen accept their offer, it would bring him back to the English top-flight two years on from his £17million move from Spurs to Inter.

The Dane, a product of the fabled Ajax academy, had a phenomenal record in the Premier League with 51 goals and 67 assists across his six-and-a-half year stint with Spurs.

He harbours ambitions of an astonishing return to the Denmark national team as he looks to build on his 109 caps and 36 goals for his country.

Speaking earlier in January, Eriksen said: "My goal is to play the World Cup in Qatar. That has always been my mentality. It is a goal, a dream. If I am chosen it is something else, but it is my dream to return.

"I'm sure I can go back because I don't feel any different. Physically, I am in perfect shape.

"This was my goal and it's still a long way off, so until then I'll play football and show that I'm back to the same level."

Brentford's offer presents Eriksen with the chance to join forces with a number of international teammates at club level including Christian Norgaard, Mathias Jensen and Mathias Jorgensen.

The player also has a strong relationship with compatriot and Bees boss Thomas Frank, who was previously in charge of various Denmark youth teams as he burst onto the scene.

Meanwhile, Eriksen's agent, Martin Schoots, talked-up a return to the Premier League for his client and said it would feel "like coming home".

"Playing in England again would be absolutely like coming home for Chris and his family," Schoots said.

"Christian was treated exceptionally well by the British public, not only for his great football skills, but also for his human values, his modesty and his selflessness."
