Tottenham transfer news: Christian Eriksen boost emerges as wonderkid reveals dream

Amid speculation surrounding his departure, Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte will still be pushing for transfers to be brought in to fulfil his goals which will increase the chances of keeping the Italian in North London. One such signing which is being touted for the club is the return of Danish playmaker Christian Eriksen who has been impressing during his short term deal at Brentford.

The 29-year-old, who has returned to English football following his release by Inter Milan previously worked with Conte, winning the Scudetto with the Italians in 2020/21, just before the Dane suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. This incident required a device to be fitted which would restart Eriksen's heart in the event of a repeat incident, something which was not allowed by footballing authorities in Italy, prompting his return to England.

His work alongside Conte as well as his lasting popularity with Tottenham fans would be a huge draw for Eriksen, who is thought to want to remain in London where his family feel at home following his seven year stint at Spurs previously. He still has a strong relationship with many of Spurs' players and could operate behind Harry Kane and Son Heung MIn in a 3-5-2 system.
