Tottenham edge closer in their bid to sign Christian Eriksen after agent initiates contact

A report by Sky Italia (h/t Express) states that the agent of Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen has initiated ‘in-depth’ contact with Tottenham Hotspur over a possible January move.

The Danish midfielder joined Spurs from Ajax for £13m. He went on to make 305 appearances for the club before moving to Inter Milan last January for £24m.

However, his move to Italy has not panned out the way he would have wanted it to. Eriksen has just 4 goals and 3 assists for Inter in his 40 appearances for them.

And now, the Serie A side is keen on selling Eriksen who is believed to be on a high wage. His high salary is also proving to be a hurdle in their bid to sell him, with a profit looking improbable. Spurs are open to the possibility of welcoming Eriksen back on loan in this transfer window.

A welcome reunion on the cards?

There is, however, a potential problem that could arise in the move. Inter want a fee for any loan move for Eriksen, while Tottenham are not willing to part with any cash. (h/t Express)

Tottenham have no shortage of attacking options, at least on paper. But the 28-year-old playmaker would add depth and quality in the Spurs side.

And with Spurs entering into a busy second half of the season, a player of Eriksen’s quality could prove to be helpful in their bid for silverware. He has also played under Jose Mourinho.

The Portuguese manager joined Spurs in November 2019, just a couple of months before Eriksen departed for Italy in January 2020. It remains to be seen if this leads to a homecoming for the Dane just a year after he left the club.
