“I have seen Erik’s work at Ajax and know the level of detail and preparation that he and his staff put into every day. It is clear that he is a fantastic coach.”
“Having spoken with him and learned more about his vision and the way he wants the team to play, I am even more excited for the future.”he added.
At Brentford he made 11 appearances under Thomas Frank, gave four assists and netted one goal after signing for Brentford.
Christian Eriksen made 300 appearances at Tottenham where he spent seven years.”I still have major ambitions in the game, there is a huge amount that I know I can achieve, and this is the perfect place to continue my journey,” Eriksen added.
