Outgoing Manchester United star Christian Eriksen has said that Thomas Frank 'should call' if he gets the Tottenham job. Eriksen will be a free agent at the start of July and he is still highly thought of in north London, having spent seven years with Spurs earlier in his career.
The midfielder also has experience of working with Frank, having spent the second half of the 2021/22 season with Brentford, who took a successful punt on him following his cardiac arrest at Euro 2020. And Eriksen believes that former club Tottenham are about to make the right decision by appointing his fellow Dane.
He said: "I think [Frank] is the right coach for Tottenham. I have had Thomas at various times, and I think he is the perfect match for Tottenham, and it would be great if Thomas takes on that challenge.
"His personality, his way of playing and his way of being. And the club considering where they were last season – they won a trophy of course – but they are in the process of building something up, and I am sure that Thomas is a good man to bring in."
Asked about the possibility of a reunion, Eriksen said: "No, not where we are now, so Thomas should call if something happens." And when pushed on whether he had already spoken to Frank, he smiled: "No, no, no."
