Christian Eriksen is set for a remarkable playing comeback after signing for English Premier League club Brentford, almost eight months after having a cardiac arrest and collapsing on the field at the European Championship. The Denmark playmaker has signed a contract until the end of the season in May with the west London club. The uplifting signing was an early announcement on the final day of the transfer deadline window in the Premier League. Manchester City has signed Argentina striker Julian Alvarez on a 5 1/2-year deal from River Plate. Tottenham has signed Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevksi from Juventus and loaned record signing Tanguy Ndombele back to Lyon.
