Michael Laudrup has tipped reported Tottenham-linked Christian Eriksen to leave Inter Milan in the near future while speaking to Danish outlet TV3 (via Goal).
The midfielder’s time in Italy hasn’t quite gone to plan, and Laudrup believes it may not be long before he is on the move again.
Of course, this will interest a number of Spurs fans, not only because he is their former player, but because he has recently been touted for a sensational return to the London club.
“He’s obviously a great player. He has two midfielders behind him and a giant like Romelu Lukaku who moves a lot and Lautaro Martinez, who is technically strong, ahead of him,” Laudrup said.
“There can be so many other things behind it. Mentally and culturally and things like that. But I can’t believe he can’t adapt tactically.
“I see that the local press, especially La Gazzetta dello Sport which is based in Milan, they have journalists who are already writing that his experience is coming to an end. They’ll get this information from somewhere, maybe also from the club.
“I think Eriksen might want to look around for something new. But it’s not easy either. It is not easy to find a club that wants to pay a lot of money for him, considering how little he played.”
It would make a lot of sense for Eriksen to leave Inter as he’s only played 212 minutes in the league this season.
Of course, this begs the question as to whether or not Spurs would want him back.
Eriksen was fantastic during his first spell at the club, but his contract demands proved too much and Spurs had to cash in on him in January.
If he is going to make a sensational return it will seemingly have to be a deal that works financially for Tottenham, but with wages being such a stumbling block in the past, it’s hard to imagine that they will be able to come to an agreement.
This saga will certainly be an interesting one to follow in the coming months.
