Frank claims Eriksen could become 'greatest ever signing' for Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank believes Christian Eriksen could potentially become the club's greatest ever signing.

The 29-year-old midfielder has been given a lifeline by Brentford after he suffered a cardiac arrest playing for Denmark at Euro2020 last June.E

Eriksen will fly to England on Sunday and train with his new teammates for the first time at the start of next week.

"It's potentially the greatest signing ever for the club," Frank said on Thursday. "It is going to be an unbelievable day, the day Christian steps onto the pitch.

"All of you have seen him performing for years as one of the best midfielders in the Premier League and what happened to him in June was crazy, a shock for all of us. So, to see him out there on the pitch soon is going to be a big day."
