Frank Lampard

Christian Eriksen made a remarkable return to football on Monday by signing for Brentford while Everton announced Frank Lampard as their new manager on a busy transfer deadline day for Premier League clubs.

Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest on the pitch while playing for Denmark at last year’s Euro 2020 and had to have an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) fitted as a result.

The 29-year-old left Inter Milan in December by mutual consent as ICDs are not permitted in Italian football.

Lampard was unveiled as the Toffees’ new boss, bringing to an end a dramatic two-week search for Rafael Benitez’s successor.
