According to rumors, CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN is expected to turn down a transfer to Manchester United in order to stay in London.
The 30-year-old midfielder returned to the Premier League in January, just seven months after having a heart arrest while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020.
On deadline day, he signed a short-term deal with Brentford and made an immediate impact.
In 11 games, he scored five goals and helped the club finish in the middle of the table.
However, when his contract ends at the end of this month, he will be a free agent once more.
Manchester United has been extensively linked with a move for the player, but their chances of landing him are now extremely remote.
Eriksen wants to stay in London, according to The Athletic, so a move to Old Trafford is improbable.
The Red Devils have already made an offer, but it may be difficult to persuade him to take it now.
Brentford and Tottenham are also interested in signing him, but he has already turned down a bid from the Bees.
After a successful period together at Inter Milan, Spurs manager Antonio Conte is thought to be ready to rejoin with Eriksen.
In order to entice him back, the North London club could make a substantial offer.
Eriksen played at Tottenham for six and a half years before transferring to Italy in 2020.
In 304 games in all competitions during that time, he scored 69 goals and assisted 90.
Spurs began what is expected to be a busy summer by bringing in Ivan Perisic on a free transfer from Inter Milan.
Fraser Forster, a 34-year-old goalkeeper who arrived on a free transfer from Premier League rivals Southampton, was confirmed as the club's second summer signing.
Tottenham has also finalized the £25 million acquisition of Yves Bissouma from Brighton.
The midfielder has signed a four-year deal with the Premier League club.
