Eight months after his cardiac arrest during the Euro 2021 match between Denmark and Finland, the former Inter Milan player now plays with a subcutaneous defibrillator.

At 30, the Danish player says he is positively surprised by “the way his body reacts“. After seven years at Tottenham, Eriksen will therefore find a Premier League championship he knows well. He will be able to bring his experience to the promoted club of Brentford. His club occupies 14th place in the standings, four points from the first relegation zone. .
