Antonio Conte hails 'positive' progress made by Christian Eriksen as midfielder tries to turn his Inter Milan career around after being kept at the San Siro in the January window

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte has hailed Christian Eriksen's 'positive' recent improvement after a January move away from the San Siro failed to materialise.

The attacking midfielder has largely struggled to impose himself since moving to the Italian giants from Tottenham in January 2020, with Inter CEO Giuseppe Marotta admitting the Dane was available for transfer in December.

Eriksen was linked with a return to his former club Spursand with a swap deal with Chelsea midfielder Jorginho but ended up staying at Milan.
