Christian Eriksen trains with former club Ajax ahead of Premier League move

Jan 26 2022

Former Inter and Tottenham Hotspurs midfielder Christian Eriksen, has started training with his old team Ajax’s reserve squad. The Danish star has been inactive after suffering from a cardiac arrest at last summer’s Euros during a match versus Nordic rivals Finland. Eriksen had to terminate his contract with Italian champions Inter, because of a law in Italy which states that professional athletes can’t have an ICD (Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) whilst participating.

In a statement the Dutch champions had this to say;

“The Dane was given the green light by his doctors in December to resume his football career after completing months of individual recovery.”

“Because he wears an ICD, inserted after he suffered a cardiac arrest during the European Championship match between Denmark and Finland, he had to cancel his contract with Inter. Professional athletes are not allowed to play with an ICD in Italy – the only country in the world with such a rule.”

Eriksen also decided to comment saying “I am very happy to be here. At Ajax I know the people, it feels like coming home because I was here for so long. All facilities are available here and with Jong Ajax I can train at a high level in a group. That’s the perfect foundation for me at the moment. I want to be at my best again as soon as possible so that when I find a new club, I can perform well there as quickly as possible.”

Reports in England and some in Italy have stated that the midfielder is close to agreeing a deal with Premier League outfit Brentford. The West London based club actually has a huge Danish influence with there being two Danish players Mathias Jensen and Christian Nørgaard and a Danish coach in Thomas Frank. He will reportedly agree to a 6-month deal.
