Christian Eriksen to Leave Inter in January

Christian Eriksen is set to leave Inter Milan next month after failing to make an impact at the San Siro. Inter Milan paid Tottenham £16.9m for the Danish midfielder in January this year.

28-year-old Christian Eriksen was on the bench for the Europa League final defeat by Sevilla in August and has only made four Serie A starts this season with Inter sitting second behind AC Milan.

Inter Milan would be willing to look at a loan deal, although they would prefer a straight sale. Inter chief executive Beppe Marotta told Sky Sports: “Eriksen is among the transfers.”

He also said: “It’s not a punishment but he has struggled to settle into the squad… so it is right to give him the opportunity to find more space elsewhere.”

Christian Eriksen has made 38 appearances for Inter, scoring four goals and assisting three times, although all of them came in the 2019-20 season. Arsenal had earlier offered to give Inter Xhaka for the player but they are yet to say anything about the deal.
