Newcastle interested in Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen

Newcastle United are interested in Brentford midfielder Christian Eriksen.

The Northern Echo says Newcastle are hoping to prise Eriksen from Brentford as one of their flagship pieces of summer transfer business.

Eriksen's return to action at Brentford's Community Stadium has provided one of the feelgood stories of the season, with the 30-year-old having proved his wellbeing after he had an implantable cardioverter defribrillator fitted in the wake of his cardiac arrest during Euro 2020.

The midfielder has claimed a goal and an assist during his five Premier League appearances to date, and has also made a successful return to Denmark's national team, with his performances alerting clubs right across the continent to his availability this summer.

Newcastle aim to snap up Eriksen this summer, with his Bees deal to expire in June.
