Brentford boss Thomas Frank wants to keep Christian Eriksen beyond this season

Brentford boss Thomas Frank hopes they can keep hold of Christian Eriksen beyond the end of the season.

Brentford have won all five matches that Eriksen has started since arriving, including a stunning 4-1 win at Stamford Bridge that saw the Danish midfielder net his first goal for the club.

His contract at Brentford runs until the end of the season, and there have already been reports that Tottenham are keen on bringing Eriksen, who worked with Antonio Conte at Inter, back to north London this summer when he will be a free agent.

“Obviously Christian is a fantastic player, but I know that I will answer this question from now until the end of the season and hopefully we end up signing him," Frank said.

“But if he ends up at another club, it is what it is. I want to focus on now and trying to prepare the team and Christian for the game and hopefully we can make him flourish tomorrow and perform well and beat Tottenham.

“I think we went into this with open eyes and this is the outcome we hoped for, that he performs fantastic and that we perform well and the other hope is that he performs after the summer."
