Dutch club Ajax has revealed former Inter Milan and Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen is training with them.
Eriksen has been linked with a move to Premier League side Brentford after his contract was terminated by Inter Milan last year. The 29-year-old collapsed during the UEFA Euro match pitting Denmark and Finland back in June following a cardiac arrest.
The midfielder was given an implanted cardiac defibrillator but later saw his contract terminated by Milan as Italian rules don’t allow anyone to participate in any sport with an ICD.
“I am very happy to be here,” the midfielder told the Dutch club’s website.
“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.”
Eriksen is reported to be close to signing for Brentford with physical medical said to be scheduled this week.
