The player, who previously played at Inter Milan and so far without a team, is back on the pitch after several months of uncertainty.

It was the British club that officially announced the Eriksen merger via Twitter. “Welcome to Brentford,” the Premier League team, ranked 14th in the Premier League, wrote, and also posted a video showing their new jersey. Brentford also posted a video in which the Dane comments himself on his autograph. “I really want to get started and hope to see you all very soon,” he says.

The attention of the emergency services, after the intervention of Simon Kjaer, who put Eriksen in recovery position on the field, saved the life of the Dane that afternoon. This would not be his first step into the Premier League, given that he already played for Tottenham for seven seasons between 2013 and 2019. Now he has not been able to continue his career in Italy because the regulations of his league do not allow him to play with a pacemaker like the one worn by the footballer currently.
