Brentford announce Christian Eriksen signing seven months after cardiac arrest at Euro 2020

Christian Eriksen has signed for Brentford on a six-month deal, just seven months on from suffering a cardiac arrest.

The former Tottenham midfielder returns to the Premier League after he left Inter Milan by mutual consent in December.

The 29-year-old has been fitted with a implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) device but was unable to continue his career in Italy due to Serie A rules.

Eriksen’s last appearance came at the Euro 2020 finals in June when the Denmark international collapsed on the pitch during the group stage match against Finland in Copenhagen.
