Transfer market: today’s news, January 23, 2022

Eriksen, one step away from returning

That June 12 at the Denmark – Finland of the European Championship the midfielder’s heart stopped for an instant, which to everyone’s relief began to beat again. And with him, his football career, which would also be about to do so.

According The Athletic, the Dane has reached an agreement with the Brentford to play football again. It would only subtract the ‘OK’ from the medical examination. Something of sidereal relevance given the magnitude of his heart problem, in which the medical authorities had removed him from professional sports.

For him “it would be like coming home,” said his agent, Martin Schoots, of a possible return to Premier League, where he shone with the Tottenham. The rush before the closing of the transfer market would not be a problem, since he would arrive as a free agent after terminating his contract with Inter. In the A league you can’t play around with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) like the one Eriksen wears.

For this reason, the one from Middlefart, who in his time was one step away from reaching Real Madrid, was training with the Danish club Odense Boldklub in which he played between 2005 and 2008. His potential new club has a physical rehabilitation plan specially designed for him. It wouldn’t be sign and play. “I want to play,” he explained to Danish channel DR1 two weeks ago. “My goal is to play the World Cup. It is my goal and my dream. Physically I’m back in my best shape.”
