The Brentford head coach is flattered that his club is linked to Christian Eriksen, while claiming the Danish footballer meets his “no d*ckhead” recruiting rule.
A little about the topic
The Danish international is currently a free agent after leaving Inter in 2021 due to Serie A rules prohibiting players from entering the field with a cardioverter-defibrillator. Christian Eriksen would not have faced such a hurdle in the PL, leading to reports that the ex-Tottenham star is longing for a return to England.
What did Frank say about Christian Eriksen?
Asked about the prospect of signing Eriksen on Tuesday, Brentford boss Thomas Frank told reporters that he is a player who only plays for top clubs. According to Thomas, something unfortunate happened to Eriksen, and now things have changed a bit. Christian Eriksen deserves to play at the highest level and Thomas hopes he will.
Under normal circumstances, there would be no rumors with a club like them. Frank thinks they should be flattered that there are rumors about the player’s qualities. Frank says that it’s the same with all the players – Mbappe, Christian Eriksen, Messi. If they fit the no d***heads criteria, they can play for them.
Thomas knows Eriksen better than most, having taken the playmaker under his wing as a teenager while leading the Denmark under-17 team. And while he has had little contact with the star since his collapse during Euro 2020, he is backing his former henchman to return to club and country.
Thomas Frank added that of course he spoke to him after the incident, but that was some time ago, not since. It was in autumn. Frank really hopes that Christian Eriksen will return to top football again, this is what he wants. Recently on a Danish program, Christian said that his big goal was to play in the World Cup, Frank really hopes he will do well, Thomas can’t understand why he shouldn’t. According to Thomas for all Danish fans Christian Eriksen was the biggest star before the Euros and if he picks up speed he will be the biggest star again. they all want the best for Eriksen and his family.
