BRENTFORD are reportedly in talks with former Tottenham and Inter Milan ace Christian Eriksen over a six-month deal.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark's Euro 2020 group stage opener against Finland.

Quick thinking from his captain Simon Kjaer and medical staff at the ground saved Eriksen's life, and he was transported to the nearest hospital and fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator.

The device monitors his heart rhythm and can also send shocks to the heart if necessary.

But the fitted device meant Eriksen was not cleared to compete in the Serie A and he was subsequently released by Inter.

However, Premier League newcomers Brentford have made an approach for the free agent, with Eriksen allowed to play in England with the ICD.

Fellow Dane Thomas Frank is keen to use Eriksen's creative spark to help keep the Bees in the top flight for another season.

A six-month deal is on the table and if things go well, there's an option to extend for a further year.

Brentford aren't the only interested party in England, though.

And his agent says a move back to the country would 'feel like coming home'.

Eriksen was also invited to train with Tottenham by Antonio Conte – who managed the playmaker at Inter.

The Italian said: "It was great to see him on a pitch, to see that he is kicking a ball.

"What happened this summer was very not good, not good, for the people that worked with him, and the people that know him.

"I was scared in that moment. And now, to see him again ready to play football is great news.

"I think for Christian, the door is always open."
