The Hammers have been linked with a move to sign the former Tottenham star since last month (FC Inter News).

Wolves now seem to be in the race as well.

So West Ham boss David Moyes will have his work cut out if he is to bring the 103-capped Denmark international to the London Stadium.

The 28-year-old left Spurs for Inter Milan last January for around £17 million (BBC).

Christian Eriksen has struggled in Italy, however, with just four goals and three assists to his name in 38 games for Inter (Transfermarkt).

Perhaps he needs an exit from the San Siro in order to rediscover his best form.

West Ham and Wolves in for Christian Eriksen

The Dane is being chased by the Hammers and the Black Country outfit according to Gazzetta dello Sport (Print edition, January 6th, page 10).

And Eriksen could be available for just £12 million this month according to ESPN.

That would be decent value for either West Ham or Wolves. It just remains to be seen whether the Hammers have the financial firepower to beat their Premier League rivals in the race for the 28-year-old’s signature.
