- Story Text:Denmark international Christian Eriksen is rumoured to be making a return to the Premier League with British media linking him to a six month contract with Brentford.
Eriksen's contract with Inter Milan was cancelled last year because he was not permitted to play in Italy's Serie A after he had a pacemaker implanted.
The midfielder suffered the on-field cardiac arrest during Denmark's opening match of the Euro 2020 last June against Finland and received life-saving treatment on the pitch.
He later had an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device implanted, a type of pacemaker which can prevent fatal cardiac arrests by discharging a jolt to restore a regular heart rhythm.
British media on Monday (January 17) reported Brentford had spoken to the Danish player and were preparing to offer him a six month contract with the option to extend that for another year.
