Christian Eriksen may have the answers to Newcastle United's problem area

Newcastle United are being continually linked with out of contract ace Christian Eriksen. The Denmark international has left Premier League rivals Brentford after signing a short term contract with the Bees in January.

His stint with the Bees was an opportunity for the 30-year-old to return to the professional game having collapsed on the pitch at Euro 2020, suffering from cardiac arrest. The Dane made 30 appearances for the Bees last term, scoring his first and only goal for the club in a 4-1 win over near rivals Chelsea.

Eriksen and Brentford were unable to agree on terms for a new deal and the former Spurs and Inter Milan playmaker is expected to leave the Brentford Community Stadium for new pastures. Manchester United are among the frontrunners for his signature, but the Magpies have also been mentioned as a possible destination.
