It was the first time Tottenham have faced Christian Eriksen since his return to the Premier League and the Dane didn't disappoint. The 30-year-old joined Brentford in January, on a short, six month contract and has already made an impact.
Spurs produced another lacklustre performance, in a clash where they needed three points to close the gap between them and Arsenal. However Antonio Conte's side went a second game without a shot on target and now sit two points behind their north London rivals, with five games left.
football.london understands that Tottenham have discussed entering the race to tempt Eriksen as a free agent in the summer and his performance yesterday may have persuaded Fabio Paratici even more, why the midfielder could be perfect for the current Spurs squad. Of course, having Champions League football on offer would make a move more attractive for the Dane, but for someone who is loved by fans, and players and has previously worked with Conte, it seems like the perfect reunion.
