Christian Eriksen asked if he’s joining Thomas Frank at Tottenham, as he share his view on the new manager
Christian Eriksen has recently addressed the ongoing speculation regarding his potential reunion with Thomas Frank at Tottenham Hotspur. Despite widespread rumors and media buzz, Eriksen confirmed that no formal approach or offer has been made to him about joining Frank at the north London club. Nevertheless, the Danish midfielder expressed his full confidence in Frank’s abilities and predicted that the former Brentford manager will find success at Tottenham, even without Eriksen’s involvement.
The comments from Eriksen were highlighted today by Ekstra Bladet, a prominent Danish publication, which interviewed him about the possibility of linking up again with Frank. This discussion comes amid strong reports from England suggesting that Thomas Frank is Tottenham’s leading candidate to replace the outgoing head coach, Ange Postecoglou. The consensus among football insiders is that Frank’s appointment is just a matter of time, sparking considerable excitement and debate both in England and in Denmark.
This development is naturally of great interest in Denmark, especially since both Frank and Eriksen are prominent figures in Danish football. The national team’s coach, Brian Riemer, was also questioned about Frank’s imminent move following Denmark’s recent defeat to Lithuania. Eriksen himself weighed in on the subject, drawing from his personal experience working with Frank during his stint at Brentford. He is confident that Frank’s qualities make him an ideal fit for Tottenham.
“I believe Thomas is exactly the right coach for Tottenham,” Eriksen said. “Having worked with him at different points in my career, I’ve seen firsthand what he brings to a team. He’s a perfect match for Tottenham’s current needs, and I think it would be fantastic for him to take on this challenge.”
Eriksen went on to highlight Frank’s personality and coaching style, emphasizing how well these align with the club’s situation. “Thomas has a great personality, and his approach to football is very clear and effective. Tottenham are in a phase of rebuilding and progressing after last season’s ups and downs — they did win a trophy, which is impressive — but they need someone who can guide them forward. I’m sure Thomas is the right man to help them grow.”
While Thomas Frank is on the verge of a new chapter at Tottenham, Eriksen himself is also preparing for a significant transition. The midfielder is set to leave Manchester United this summer upon the expiry of his contract, making him a free agent. Although he has hinted that his next destination might lie outside of the Premier League, the possibility of a reunion with Frank at Spurs remains an intriguing prospect.
Despite the speculation, Eriksen made it clear that, as things stand, no concrete offer has been made from Tottenham. “No, nothing at the moment,” he said when asked if there had been any approach regarding a move. He even joked that if anything were to happen, Frank should be the one to call him first. When pressed on whether Frank had reached out to him, Eriksen firmly answered, “No, no, no.”
For now, it seems both men are on separate paths, but Eriksen’s endorsement of Frank’s potential success at Tottenham speaks volumes about the high regard the midfielder has for his fellow Dane. Fans of Tottenham will undoubtedly be watching closely to see how this managerial appointment unfolds, and whether it might eventually lead to a renewed partnership with Eriksen on the pitch.
