Denmark international Christian Eriksen has joined German Bundesliga club Wolfsburg on a free transfer until 2027, the club announced late on Wednesday.
\nEriksen, 33, had been a free agent since his contract with Manchester United expired in the summer.<\/p>\n
“I’m really looking forward to this new adventure. I’m convinced that together we can make a difference in Wolfsburg,” AFP quoted Eriksen as saying in a statement.<\/p>\n
Wolfsburg is Eriksen’s third club since he suffered a cardiac arrest during Denmark’s game against Finland at the Euros in 2021.<\/p>\n
Although he made a comeback after being fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), he was forced to leave his then-club Inter Milan as Italian regulations prevent athletes from competing with ICDs.<\/p>\n
After a highly-successful six-month spell at Brentford, Eriksen joined United in 2022.<\/p>\n
Although he was initially a success, he gradually fell out of favor, first under Erik ten Hag and then even more so under Ruben Amorim, and left the club at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
Eriksen, who also played for Tottenham and Ajax earlier in his career, has 144 Denmark caps, scoring 46 goals.<\/p>\n
Eriksen becomes the sixth Danish member of Wolfsburg’s squad alongside Joakim Maehle, Jesper Lindstrom, Andreas Skov Olsen, Jonas Wind and Adam Daghim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
