Christian Eriksen has insisted that he will take his time when it comes to deciding his next move after leaving Brentford as a free agent.
The Danish international suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 last June but kickstarted his remarkable return to football with Brentford in January, notching a goal and four assists in 11 appearances to help keep the club in the top flight.
His brilliant six-month stint in west London has seen him attract plenty of interest, with Manchester United, Newcastle and Tottenham all reportedly keen on signing him this summer.

Brentford have also reportedly offered the Dane a permanent contract to extend his stay with them but are waiting for a response from the in-demand playmaker.
And while he has had Nations League football to focus on in recent weeks, Eriksen insists he won’t be rushed on a decision over his future at club level.
‘No, and they know that too,’ Eriksen told reporters after Denmark’s 2-0 win over Austria on Monday, as per Bold.dk.
‘There are many criteria and many different things inside such a decision. Sometimes it goes fast in football, other times a little slower. You are not in control of it yourself. I have to make the best decision and not rush anything through.
