It looks like Leicester won’t sign Christian Eriksen despite previous interest
It seems as though Leicester City will not be signing former Tottenham Hotspur star Christian Eriksen despite holding a previous interest.
When a flurry of speculation suggesting Danish international Christian Eriksen is ‘hoping to complete a return to the Premier League’ is then picked up by national media, you can be pretty sure that it is true. A transfer is in the offing. In fact, he may make an English top-flight comeback this week.
Meanwhile interested clubs are named by publications such as the Daily Mail and are subsequently announced by juggernauts like Sky Sports. Now it is fairly reliable from my experience. Several sides are reportedly eyeing up the 29-year-old or have made offers.

The latter example relates to Eriksen directly as journalists and outlets claim Brentford are in for the ex-Inter Milan man. Some might see this prospective move as a step-down for the midfielder: yet in actuality it is a solid switch for him and wonderful that an EPL team is willing to give the Dane a chance in spite of his health issues.
In case you are not aware, Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 in June 2021, and had to be resuscitated on the field of play in shocking and upsetting scenes. Now he has an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator; which is placed under the skin, usually next to the collar bone. This information is per the British Heart Foundation. Due to the device, Eriksen can no longer play in Serie A, the reason for leaving Inter.
Links with Leicester City and likelihood of EPL role
Around this time last year, prior to the medical situation, the Foxes attempted to loan in Eriksen. However, his astonishing £300,000-per-week wages scuppered any opportunity for agreement. Nevertheless the position he competes in is well covered at King Power Stadium; along with James Maddison becoming the most ‘on fire’ English attacking midfielder presently.

Mail suggest the No.10 has been offered a six-month contract with Brentford, including an option to stay on for another year. It would be delightful to see Eriksen back in the EPL once again.
