Christian Eriksen is targeting trophies and has admitted he has 'an idea' of his next move when his short-term contract expires after the final game of Brentford's Premier League season.
Denmark international Eriksen returned to football for the first time since he suffered a cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 when he joined Brentford on January 31, becoming the Bees' key creative influence across a string of displays that have seen the midfielder linked with Manchester United and former club Tottenham.
Brentford play their final game of an impressive first season in the Premier League when they host Leeds on Sunday, and Eriksen says he is yet to decide whether he will extend his deal with Thomas Frank's side.
Two-time Tottenham Player of the Season Eriksen told BBC Sport: 'I don't know what the future holds.
'It will be a decision from a sporting perspective but also from a family perspective, going into the decision of where we're going to go.
'I've always wanted to win trophies. I'm always on the competitive side, I always want to be the best version possible in any way, playing at the highest level possible.
When he was asked whether Brentford are 'in the conversation', Eriksen replied: 'They are – they definitely are. I haven't made up my mind 100 percent of where I'm going.
'I have an idea, but what's going to happen I don't know. But Brentford are definitely in the category of one of the clubs.'
Eriksen's creation of 25 chances is the most of any Brentford since he joined the club, and no player has provided more than his supply of four assists during his time in West London.
The 30-year-old's impact has helped Brentford distance themselves from the Premier League relegation zone and within sight of a top-half finish, leaving Frank hopeful that his compatriot will extend his contract.
Former Ajax midfielder Eriksen reached the Champions League final with Spurs in 2019 and won Serie A with Inter Milan in 2021, although he was forced to leave the San Siro under rules in Italy around the pacemaker-style device he was fitted with after collapsing during Denmark's game against Finland that summer.
Eriksen said: 'In the end, it takes time and also it changes perspective if something like that happens and how my family reacts.
'Just the feeling of being with my family is more important – not that it wasn't important before, but you just realise: "Oh, this is something that I really care about even more now."'

This guy should be at United but I don't know if Ten hag would want him .Eriksen can unlock defense very easily and this is exactly where united have struggled for years .
