Christian Eriksen’s swift and sparkling return to top form at Brentford is already attracting attention from bigger and wealthier Premier League clubs.
Tottenham and Manchester United are among those monitoring him closely and Chelsea will be in no doubt about his quality after his goal and influential role in Saturday’s 4-1 defeat.
Eriksen signed a short-term deal until the end of the season at Brentford, determined to prove to himself, as well as others, that he could still perform at the top after recovering from a cardiac arrest last summer.
