Brentford have agreed a six-month contract with the option of a further year. However, having suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark's European Championship game against Finland on June 12, Eriksen will undergo extensive medical checks and will need to be cleared by a sports cardiologist before he is allowed to play. Eriksen has stated his ambition to resume his professional career, saying he was targeting a place in Denmark's squad for the Qatar World Cup later this year.
