Christian Eriksen could 'move to Man United' says pundit
Inter Milan are set to offer midfielder Matias Vecino to Tottenham as part of a potential swap deal for Christian Eriksen, reports in Italy have claimed. The Italians are beginning to step up their pursuit of the Dane who is now free to talk to other clubs after entering the final six months of his contract.
The writing is now on the wall for Eriksen at Tottenham after snubbing the chance to extend his stay in north London.
And Inter have moved to the front of the queue for his signature and are keen to bring him to the San Siro this month as opposed to waiting until the summer.
They are also interested in Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal and it appears unlikely that they will secure both additions this window.
According to Sky Italia, Inter want to trade Uruguayan midfielder Vecino as part of a deal that would see Eriksen depart Tottenham this month.

That’s because Tottenham are only interested in a cash deal for the Eriksen.
It will take an offer in the region of £17million to convince Tottenham to offload Eriksen this month.
Jose Mourinho hinted at the end of December that Eriksen could be leaving the club, highlighting that he will continue to show professionalism all the while he remains at Spurs.
"We are so open with one another," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
"We keep it to ourselves. Obviously I share it with my boss but it's just between us. The only thing I can say is he is trying to help the team."
