Eriksen has returned to the top level after suffering a cardiac arrest last summer at the Euros and has been in fine form back in the Premier League for the Bees and on international duty for Denmark.
The 30-year-old midfielder, who would be a free agent after the expiry of his contract at Brentford has decided to pursue a new challenge as he prepares to wave goodbye to Brentford, according to reports, with the Dane keen on playing in Champions League.
When asked question about the prospect of the Eriksen returning to Tottenham this summer, Dejan Kulusevski says Christian Eriksen would be “most welcome”.
“He would be most welcome,” Kulusevski told media outlet Nettavisen.
“He is an incredible player and a wonderfully good person too. I know him a little from before, but no [we haven’t spoken recently], we are not that good friends.”
Former Spurs goalkeeper Erik Thorstvedt also believes Eriksen returning to work under Antonio Conte at his old club would be a perfect match.
“We see that Conte has a tendency to go back to players he knows from before and even though it took a long time before he got into Conte’s system at Inter, it was a success in the end”
“Tottenham have sometimes struggled to control matches against supposedly worse teams. He is someone who is good at lubricating the system, keeping the ball in the team and will be able to make sure that Tottenham dominate. He has killer passes and a very good set piece foot. In addition, he clearly loves to play football. The club he gets gets a dedicated player who does not have a giant ego, but who does his best for the team.”
The former Tottenham stopper thinks the Dane would be welcomed back by the fans despite his departure to Inter Milan in 2020.
“The fans will probably be very happy if he comes back. He has a very high standing and you will not find many who have anything bad to say about Christian Eriksen. I think they would think it was great to have him back,” he said.

The prospect of a return to Tottenham, where he spent six-and-a-half years is one that would be of huge appeal.
Eriksen also worked with Antonio Conte during his time at Inter and the Italian has already declared his interest in a reunion during a press conference in February.
It’s also understood that Eriksen would prefer to stay in London, which represents a major advantage for Tottenham.
A final decision on his next move is expected to be made in the coming days and weeks.
