Gary Neville suggests Liverpool to sign Christian Eriksen

About Football Express UK

Former England international and now football pundit Gary Neville has suggested Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool to sign Christian Eriksen in the summer. He also added that he believes that the Danish midfielder could feature for any of the Premier League’s top six sides.

Christian Eriksen joined Brentford in the January transfer window as a free agent after he terminated his contract with Inter Milan in the summer. Eriksen was out of action since the cardiac arrest he suffered at the EURO 2020.

But since rejoining the Premier League, Christian Eriksen has been nothing short of outstanding. He has made a total of 11 appearances in the league since joining in January. In this time he has recorded one goal and four assists. (stats via Transfermarkt)

But the midfielder only signed a six-month contract with the bees. While Brentford have the option to extend the deal for another season. A host of Premier League clubs have shown interest in the Danish midfielder’s services. Aston Villa, Spurs, and Manchester United have all shown interest in the 30-year-old.

“He could play for Manchester City, he could play for Liverpool”: Gary Neville on Christian Eriksen

Talking about the 30-year-old on The Overlap Fan Debate, Gary Neville said:

“I think Eriksen will get plucked by a big club. He might show loyalty, to be fair, because of what Brentford have done for him. I tell you what, if you were any top-six club that were looking at a midfield three and you wanted a player to go in there and play 30 games for you in a squad-type [situation], you’d [take him].”

“He could play for Manchester City, he could play for Liverpool, he could play for any of the top six. I’m not saying starting every week, but he could come on. Look at what Xherdan Shaqiri was doing at Liverpool for two or three years there.”

“If Liverpool are looking for a midfield player to come on for, say, Thiago – who gets injured a little bit – why would you not look at Eriksen? Why would you not look to him to come in for two seasons and do a job for you doing that? He’s brilliant. He’s a brilliant pro, he’s a great player, his quality on the ball is unbelievable.”

“To be fair, Brentford played out here [at Old Trafford]. But some of Eriksen passing in that game was out of this world at Old Trafford. I just thought of it then. But Liverpool do need midfield players. They do need people with quality to feed the strikers and to be fair, why wouldn’t you? They did that with Shaqiri.”
