MIDFIELDER Christian Eriksen has arrived at Brentford for the first time since joining the club.
The Bees signed the former Tottenham star on the final day of the January transfer window, just seven months after he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s Euro 2020 clash with Finland.
The 29-year-old was a free agent after leaving Inter Milan by mutual consent as rules in Italy prevented him from playing with a implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) device fitted.

Eriksen, who had been training with former club Ajax, was pictured at Brentford’s training ground on Monday ahead of the club’s game at Manchester City on Wednesday.
It is hoped that Eriksen's quality will help improve Brentford's creativity from midfield and that he will be able to chip in with some goals.
The Bees top scorer this season in the Premier League is striker Ivan Toney with six but the nest best is Bryan Mbeumo who has only notched three goals.
During his time at Tottenham, Eriksen made over 300 appearances scoring 69 and assisting 90 goals.
