Eriksen joins Serie A giants Inter Milan from Tottenham
Christian Eriksen has completed a switch to Inter Milan from Tottenham ending his six-and-a-half year spell in north London and the Premier League.
The Denmark international’s future had been up in the air with his contract due to expire at the end of the season and had been keen to depart last summer.

The Dane has been heavily criticised for poor form this campaign, with manager Jose Mourinho having blamed his underwhelming performances on talk of his exit.

Eriksen helped Tottenham reach the 2015 EFL Cup final as well as the Champions League final last season.
Inter have been busy this January, already signing Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea — with another forward expected before the window closes.
“I couldn’t wait to join, it’s wonderful to be here and I’m happy to be a new Inter player. I’m very excited and can’t wait to introduce myself to the fans. I’ve already experienced their warmth, it’s been a fantastic welcome. I feel great.”
“I’m not really someone who places great importance on statistics but I know that there are people who like talking about this.”
“The numbers say that I did really well in England. It’s now time to start a new challenge, I’m really happy to have the opportunity to play in Serie A for a big team. Inter is a fantastic club,” the Dane told Inter TV moments after he was unveiled as a Nerazzurri player.
Eriksen joined Tottenham in August 2013 from Dutch giants Ajax in a deal who at the time was reported to be worth €12.45 million and has since then featured 305 times across all competitions scoring 69 goals in the process.
