The best free agent on the market has decided on his next move, ending speculation over his future.
Christian Eriksen’s three year spell at Manchester United came to an end in June when his contract expired.
Eriksen spent all summer deliberating over his next move, even being linked with a move to Championship side Wrexham.
The Dane finally chose his next club this week, agreeing a deal with German top flight side Wolfsburg.

Eriksen trained with Malmo
In the week leading up to his agreement with Wolfsburg, Christian Eriksen spent time training with Swedish club Malmo.
Eriksen was briefly reunited with his former Brentford teammate Pontus Jansson, who reflected on crossing paths with the midfielder again.
Jansson spoke highly of their time together at Brentford, admitting that he knew Eriksen was simply a level above the rest of the team.
Eriksen signed for Manchester United that same summer, with Brentford making a pitch to keep him, but ultimately standing little chance of winning him over.

Jansson told Tipsbladet: “It brings back a lot of old memories, we have a history together after all. We were only together for a short time, but we managed to go through so much, and maybe it was the best year of my career when I played with him.
“It’s been four years since I last played with him – but he’s a fraud at this level. I also felt that way in the Premier League when I played with him there, that he was a fraud, he was too good.”
He added about seeing Eriksen in training again: “I think you can see that he’s at a higher level than many others here.”
Eriksen had many options instead of Wolfsburg
The journalist who first broke the Christian Eriksen to Wolfsburg story has admitted his own shock at the move.
Farzam Abolholsseini told Tipsbladet: “He could have moved to the Premier League, there were also rumors about Leverkusen. In Saudi Arabia he would be able to earn the money that the rest of us can only dream of.
“Brentford and Ajax were obvious, so Wolfsburg have won over some huge destinations. Eriksen has been able to pick and choose between a lot of clubs.”
