Eriksen is currently a free agent after Inter Milan terminated his contract over his health issues.

The Danish star cannot be allowed to play in the Serie A as he is fitted with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD).

Eriksen was fitted with the ICD after he suffered a cardiac arrest while in action for Denmark during the Euro 2020 tournament in the summer.

At just 29, the former Tottenham Hotspur ace is understood to be desperate to continue playing at the top level.

However, rules in the Italian league dictate that he cannot play with a heart condition.

This left Inter with no choice but to terminate his contract so he can join another club on a free transfer when the January window opens.

Metro UK reports the midfielder has been training with boyhood side OB in Odense, with his agent, Martin Schoots, revealing they have received offers from several clubs.

It is understood a Premier League club is among those who have expressed a desire to sign Eriksen.

Newcastle United, who are expected to spend big in January are among the clubs who could take a gamble for the Dane.

A return to Spurs that could see him link up with his former Inter boss Antonio Conte has also been mooted.

Sergio Aguero retires

Earlier, TUKO.co.ke reported Sergio Aguero has announced his retirement from football in a tearful press conference on Wednesday, December 15.

The former Manchester City striker, 33, says he is “proud” of his career as he conceded the painful reality of his early retirement.

Aguero was taken to hospital on October 30 after complaining of chest pains during Barcelona’s game against Alaves, which ended in a 1-1 stalemate.
