Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Christian Eriksen hopes to seal a return to the Premier League before the end of the week, just seven months on from collapsing on the pitch at Euro 2020.<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder suffered a cardiac arrest in Denmark’s tournament opener against Finland in Copenhagen before having his life saved by on-site medical professionals, since revealing that he had “died for five minutes” before being resuscitated.<\/p>\n

Eriksen has now had a defibrillator fitted to his heart, but that operation has brought an end to his time at Inter – who reluctantly released him – as rules in Italy prevent teams from fielding players who wear them.<\/p>\n

Now a free agent, The Times report that the 29-year-old is hopeful of securing a return to the Premier League imminently.<\/p>\n

The Dane has been subject to approaches from ‘several’ unnamed top-flight clubs, and wants to finalise a move to one of them within the next week. There was interest from around Europe too, but Eriksen prefers a return to England, where he starred for Tottenham for seven years after arriving from Ajax in 2013.<\/p>\n

It’s claimed that the player’s priority is proving he is still a top-level player and that he is worthy of a place in Denmark’s 2022 World Cup squad. As a result, it is believed his wage demands will be significantly lower than the \u00a3200,000 per week he was paid at San Siro.<\/p>\n

Eriksen’s agent Martin Schoots has previously told the BBC that returning to England would feel like “coming home”.<\/p>\n

“Playing in England again would absolutely feel like coming home for Chris and his family,” Schoots remarked.<\/p>\n

“Christian has been treated exceptionally well by the British public, not only because of his top football skills, but also because of his human values, his modesty and altruism.”<\/p>\n

In a bid to stay as fit as possible since his heart surgery, Eriksen has trained with boyhood club Odense in Denmark as well as third-tier Swiss side FC Chiasso.<\/p>\n
