Tottenham Transfer News: Jose Mourinho has addressed the latest rumours regarding Christian Eriksen

Jose Mourinho has broken his silence on Christian Eriksen’s seemingly imminent Tottenham exit. Eriksen’s future with the north Londoners has been up in the air ever since he revealed his desire to undertake a new challenge last June.

The Dane - who has six months left on his contract with Spurs - ended up staying at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, though his admission put several clubs on red alert. Amongst the clubs alerted by the 27-year-old’s exit plea were Italian giants Inter Milan, who have held talks with the player’s representatives this month. And earlier this week, it was reported the Nerazzurri have agreed personal terms with the former Ajax man and are on the verge of completing a £17million deal for his services. It was also claimed Eriksen - who was left out the matchday squad for Spurs’ 1-1 draw with Southampton on Saturday - will undergo a medical in Milan on Monday.
