Tottenham expert baffled by Christian Eriksen latest – ‘what is going on?’
Christian Eriksen’s medical issues may be the reason he hasn’t signed for Tottenham.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
Eriksen, 30, is weighing up his options ahead of the 2022-23 season and has been heavily linked with a return to Spurs.
On 14 June, The Athletic reported Man United have made an offer to sign the attacker as Erik ten Hag looks to bolster his midfield options.
According to the BBC (11 June), Brentford are keen to keep hold of Eriksen despite the midfielder appearing on the club’s released list – which was announced that day.
Wenham is baffled as to why Spurs can’t get this deal over the line.
“We still have no creative midfielder,” Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“He has played for Conte before, delivered world-class performances for Brentford at the end of last season over a significant period of time.
“He knows Tottenham inside out. He can do back to his London home, his family is based there. What is going on?
“This issue of not making an offer. I’m really struggling to understand that. Bless Brentford, I know they have a Danish coach and Danish players and whatever.
“We are a million times bigger than Brentford. I’m struggling as to why we can’t get this deal over the line, there must be something going on.
“Get Eriksen, it’s a very simple deal to so. I can only think there must be insurance and or medical reasons as to why Tottenham are backing off from this deal.”
Eriksen scored once and chipped in with four assists for Brentford during the 2021-22 season.
He joined the Bees in January after recovering from his collapse at Euro 2020.
