Inter Milan have had an £10.5million offer rejected for wantaway Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.
The Italians have been told they will have to double their bid to at least £20m in order to prise the Dane away this month, with Spurs confirming talks between the sides are underway.
Eriksen is out of contract in the summer and the Dane is free to talk to foreign clubs now as a result.
Inter have held discussions with his agents and a further meeting is scheduled for Wednesday.
