Christian Eriksen lands in Italy for Inter Milan medical

Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen has landed in Milan ahead of his January move to Inter.

The 27-year-old is is expected to complete a £16.8m move to Italy which could see him earn up to £320,000 per week.

His future has been one of the sagas of the transfer window, with Inter initially unable to agree a deal with Spurs despite the risk of Eriksen leaving for free at the end of the season. Inter Milan CEO Giuseppe Marotta said: "You all know that we are negotiating with Tottenham. I am optimistic and I hope everything can be concluded quickly because the market closes on Friday and we hope to conclude the negotiations in the next few days."

Eriksen has made 305 appearances during his six-and-a-half year spell in north London, scoring 69 goals and providing 89 assists.

The Denmark international would become the third signing Inter have made from the Premier League this month, having already brought in Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses from Chelsea.

Inter are currently second in Serie A, behind leaders Juventus, and manager Antonio Conte has big ambitions of winning the Scudetto.
