Christian Eriksen signs for Brentford on short-term

midfielder

, who suffered a heart attack during Euro 2020, has returned to football and has signed a short-term contract with

until the end of the season.

The 29-year-old actor suffered a heart problem during the summer competition, and the medical team implanted a defibrillator in his heart, which is why he has been out of action until today. Italian law barred him from returning to action and his contract with Nerazzurri was terminated, but the former Tottenham star has returned to the Premier League and signed a contract with Brentford.

Brentford boss Thomas Frank, who has worked with Eriksen in the Denmark youth system, told the club's website: 

“I am looking forward to working with Christian again. It has been a while since I last coached him, and a lot has happened since then.

"Christian was 16 at the time and has become one of the best midfield players to appear in the Premier League. He has also won trophies all over Europe and become the star of the Danish national team.

“We have taken an unbelievable opportunity to bring a world class player to Brentford. He hasn’t trained with a team for seven months but has done a lot of work on his own. He is fit but we will need to get him match fit and I am looking forward to seeing him work with the players and staff to get back towards his highest level.

“At his best, Christian has the ability to dictate games of football. He can find the right passes and is a goal threat. He also has very, very good set piece delivery, both from corners and direct free kicks. He is a player you can find with the ball, and he will come up with a solution to the problem in front of him.

"Christian will also bring experience of top level football to the club. I expect him to have an impact in the dressing room and at the training ground.”
