Christian Eriksen has boosted Brentford’s hopes of keeping hold of him this summer by revealing he is “very happy” at the club.

The midfielder, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch playing for Denmark at Euro 2020 last year, has excelled since joining Brentford on a free transfer in January.

Eriksen scored his first goal for the Bees last Saturday in the 4-1 victory at Chelsea and he will be hoping to build on that when they face West Ham on Sunday.

The 30-year-old signed only a six-month contract with Brentford, who are desperate to keep him beyond this summer, but he is happy in west London.

“Everything has been pretty positive, only the coronavirus time when I didn’t play that game at Leicester,” said Eriksen.

“But after it has been very heart-warming to be here. The welcome from the fans, players and staff, really everyone, has been very happy for me. I am very happy to be here.

“To win 4-1 at Stamford Bridge as a team is a massive statement and it will give the whole club a lot of confidence against the top teams.

“All the last few weeks and months have been very emotional and very pleasing obviously for me to be back playing and to score my first goal at Stamford Bridge.”
