- Free agent joins فولفسبورغ
- Leverkusen links ended by swift Wolfsburg move
- السابق-متحد star joins Kane in ألمانيا
The Danish international, a free agent since leaving United in June, has followed his former توتنهام team-mate Harry Kane to the الدوري الألماني. The 33-year-old, who previously starred for Spurs and انتر, had been heavily linked with باير ليفركوزن, especially following the arrival of Kasper Hjulmand, his former الدنمارك coach.
For Eriksen, this move represents a fresh chapter, from hisnear-fatal cardiac arrest at Euro 2020 to his inspirational return at برينتفورد and United, the playmaker has consistently defied the odds. Joining Wolfsburg marks his first-ever spell in German football, a league renowned for its tactical intensity and physical demands.
Reports in Germany suggested that Leverkusen were frontrunners for Eriksen, with Hjulmand keen to reunite with his trusted playmaker. English media outlets even hinted that a Leverkusen deal was close. However, Wolfsburg acted quickly, arranging travel from Odense to Braunschweig for Eriksen to secure the midfielder. Eriksen has been maintaining fitness with Malmo in السويد following his United exit. His form at Old Trafford last season showed flashes of quality, as he netted five goals and made six assists in 35 appearances.
For Wolfsburg, Eriksen’s arrival not only boosts their midfield options but also raises their profile in the Bundesliga. It remains to be seen if he is thrown into the mix when the German side host Koln on Saturday.
