Brentfordin January but it's unclear he stays at this club for next season.
Antonio Conte who worked with Eriksen at Inter recently admitted he is interested to work with him at
Tottenham.
"For sure, to work again with Christian is a fantastic opportunity,"
Conte said.
"I enjoyed the time we spent together in Inter Milan, despite the first time he didn't play regularly with me.
"But then when I understood what I wanted about him then he played. We won together a title, the league in Italy.
"When you have this type of player, a great player, a good man, I think every manager, every coach, likes to work with them."
Brentford manager Thomas Frank says he understands why Conte wants to be reunited with Eriksen.
"Obviously he would enjoy working with him and Christian is a fantastic player, but I know that I will answer this question from now until the end of the season and hopefully we end up signing him,"
Frank told a pre-match news conference.
"But if he ends up at another club, it is what it is. I want to focus on now and trying to prepare the team and Christian for the game and hopefully we can make him flourish tomorrow and perform well and beat Tottenham.
"I think we went into this with open eyes and this is the outcome we hoped for, that he performs fantastic and that we perform well and the other hope is that he performs after the summer."
Frank also spoke about the game against Tottenham which Eriksen used to play for.
"I think he just literally looks forward to playing Tottenham. He has a lot of old teammates, a lot of staff members he worked closely together with for seven years of his life,"
Frank added.
"This is where he went from being a very talented footballer at Ajax to being a world-class midfielder, and one of the best midfielders in the Premier League.
"I know one thing, he is looking forward to it but he will do his best to try and beat them, of course he wants to compete."
