Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has admitted he may be interested in bringing Christian Eriksen back to the club.

The Danish star is currently on a short-term deal at Brentford, having terminated his contract at Italian champions Inter Milan.

Eriksen is hoping to prove he can still play regular first team football after his cardiac arrest during a Euro 2020 game in the summer of 2021.

"Honestly I was surprised about the situation because in my mind, I thought Christian needed more time before coming back to play in England," Conte said.

"For sure, Eriksen is part of Tottenham's story. To come back here would be a good opportunity for him, for me, for the club. But now he's signed for Brentford, only six months, and we'll see what happens.

"I was lucky because I met him on Sunday and it was good to speak with him. I saw him with his family and it was good. I'm the first person to be happy to see him again on the pitch because we spent a really good time at Inter Milan together.

"We won the league, we spent two important seasons together. I wish him all the best for the future. And you don't know what will happen. It would be good for me to have him again, to work together."
