Christian Eriksen is reportedly 'close' to finalising a short-term deal with Premier League new boys Brentford.
Eriksen has not featured since suffering a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020, and had his contract with Inter terminated last month after being banned from playing in Serie A.
But the 29-year-old is now on the brink of a return to the Premier League, according to Sky Sports.
It's claimed Brentford have agreed terms with the playmaker over a six-month deal, with the option of a further year.
But The Athletic report a deal hinges on whether Eriksen passes all the relevant medical checks that are necessary after his shock cardiac arrest.
A sports cardiologist needs to clear him to play, as do the FA and the Premier League.
The Bees are next in action on February 5 at Everton in the FA Cup, although Eriksen is unlikely to feature in that clash, regardless of whether he receives medically approval in time.
A work permit must be granted in order for him to play, but as Eriksen is currently a free agent there is no rush against the clock to get anything over the line.
Both Leicester and Newcastle have also been linked with a move for Eriksen, but it's the Bees who are now close to getting a deal over the line.
