Christian Eriksen is 'a shell of himself' at Inter Milan says pundit
Arsenal chiefs reportedly told Inter Milan they have other priorities when recently offered a transfer deal for Christian Eriksen. The Denmark international could leave the San Siro in January, a year after arriving from Tottenham. But neither the Emirates Stadium or Manchester United appear to be his next destination, with the playmaker instead favouring a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

They reportedly told Inter Milan they have other priorities at the current moment in time.
United, for their part, are supposedly interested in bringing Eriksen to Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was keen on signing the 28-year-old back in the summer transfer window but pulled out of the race amid concerns over whether the playmaker actually wanted to join.
But Arsenal and United now appear both to look elsewhere, with Eriksen setting his sights on a move to France with PSG.
Should that happen, he’d be expected to provide ammunition for the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappe, Angel Di Maria and Mauro Icardi to fire.
And Tottenham aren’t expected to try and re-sign Eriksen like they did with Gareth Bale back in the summer.
Eriksen recently admitted his time at Inter hadn’t gone as planned, saying: “This isn’t what I dreamed of. All players want to play as much as possible, but the coach decides who gets to go on the pitch.
“It is a strange situation, as the fans want to see me playing more and so would I, but the coach has different ideas and as a player I have to respect that.”
Arsenal legend Kevin Campbell, meanwhile, thinks Eriksen would bring ‘something to the table’ for the Gunners.
“Eriksen played for the rivals but we all know the quality he possesses, that is for sure,” ex-Arsenal striker Campbell told Football Insider.
“It is not quite working out for him at Inter right now and I am sure he would be a good addition to Arsenal’s squad.
“I do not care if he played for Spurs – he is a superb player who can bring something to the table for Arsenal.
“I would not mind it if we swapped Eriksen for Xhaka.
“The key is building and fattening that squad up to challenge and you can never have enough quality players.”
Inter are next in Serie A action against Napoli on Wednesday (7.45pm). They’ll be looking for all three points to put pressure on rivals AC Milan at the Serie A summit.
