Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has completed a move to Bundesliga side VfL Wolfsburg on a two-year contract after leaving Manchester United as a free agent during the close season, the club confirmed on Wednesday.
Eriksen, 33, has made 310 Premier League appearances across Manchester United, Brentford, and Tottenham Hotspur, and has also represented Ajax Amsterdam and Inter Milan during his career.
In 2021, Eriksen suffered a near-fatal cardiac arrest during a European Championship match against Finland. Following the incident, he made a remarkable return to professional football after being fitted with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD).
Wolfsburg sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz praised the midfielder’s wealth of experience and leadership qualities. “We’re getting a player who has seen and experienced everything at the highest level. His enormous experience, his quality on the pitch, and his personality will be a valuable boost to our young players in particular,” he said.
Currently sixth in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg will host Cologne on Saturday, with Eriksen expected to add depth and guidance to the squad.
