Frank hopeful for Eriksen

THOMAS Frank is hopeful Christian Eriksen will agree to extend his stay at Brentford.

The former Tottenham playmaker has been impressive since joining the Bees on a short-term deal in January.

Eriksen had been looking for a club to restart his career after suffering a cardiac arrest while representing Denmark at Euro 2020.

The 30-year-old’s form since means he is unlikely to be short of potential suitors but manager Frank feels optimistic.

The Dane said at a press conference: “I know I am optimistic but I also picked up the phone and said, ‘Hey do you want to come to Brentford?’ I am convinced we will have a chance.”
