Christian Eriksen 'is tempted by a return to Ajax as his former club hand him the chance to continue his career with a heart defibrillator'... after Danish star was told he CAN'T play with one in Italy

Christian Eriksen is tempted by a return to Ajax where he could continue his career with a heart defibrillator fitted, according to a report in Italy.

The 29-year-old was fitted with an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark against Finland at Euro 2020 in June, to regulate any further changes in his heartbeat.

The Dane has not played since collapsing during the game and is looking for the chance to return to the pitch but will not be able to do so in Italy.

Serie A rules prevent players from playing in competitive games with a defibrillator, meaning an Inter exit is almost certain.
