Spurs Web Opinion
It is brilliant to see Eriksen back in the Premier League. It is a shame that Brentford have already played at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this season as the29-year-old would have got a wonderful reception from the Spurs faithful. I am desperate for the Dane to do well over the next few months and get his career back on track.
