Inter Milan open talks for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen?

Inter Milan have reportedly decided to up their efforts to sign Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen.

The 27-year-old is nearing the end of his sixth campaign with Spurs, but the Denmark international's contract is due to expire in 2020.

That has resulted in interest in Eriksen's signature, and it was suggested earlier this week that Inter monitored the playmaker's performance in the Champions League fixture with Manchester City on Tuesday night.

According to Tuttosport, Inter have also moved to hold preliminary discussions regarding the possible transfer of the Spurs star.

The Premier League outfit want to keep Eriksen in North London, but a sale may have to be considered if a new deal cannot be agreed in the coming months.
