Tottenham Hotspur are one of seven clubs who pose a threat to Brentford in their hopes to keep Christian Eriksen next season, an update has revealed.
Eriksen returned to the Premier League to play for Brentford earlier this year. He is on a contract until the end of the season. Having shown he still has what it takes more than half a year after his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, he is now building interest.
Thomas Frank has made no secret of his wish for Brentford to keep Eriksen next season. However, he believes discussions are only likely to take place at the end of the current campaign.

One of them is Tottenham Hotspur, for whom Eriksen played between 2013 and 2020. But the report casts doubt on whether he would want to return after how he departed.
