Denmark international midfielder Christian Eriksen has joined Inter Milan after five-and-half seasons at Tottenham Hotspur.
The 27year-old first expressed his willingness to leave North London for a new challenge last summer, but suitors were priced out a move.
The arrival of Jose Mourinho did little to change Eriksen’s mind despite the Portuguese’s best efforts to convince him.
Having failed to put pen to paper on a new deal, Spurs were set to lose the Dane for nothing in the summer, and they had to cash in on the £11 million signing when they still had time.
