Manchester United's hopes of signing soon-to-be free agent Christian Eriksen this summer have been handed a timely boost.
As reported by our sister title, football.london, Tottenham Hotspur have not followed up their interest in the Brentford midfielder after making contact with his representatives two weeks ago. The Dane is attracting interest from both United and Spurs ahead of his contract with the Bees expiring on June 30.
Eriksen, after leaving Inter Milan last year as a result of being unable to play in Italy fitted with a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device, after suffering a cardiac arrest at last summer's European Championship, was snapped up by Brentford on a free transfer in January, joining the Londoners on a short-term deal. He scored one goal and grabbed four assists in 11 appearances, helping the club comfortably avoid relegation to the Championship.
