The 28-year-old left Tottenham for Inter in January for around £17.5 million (Daily Mail).
Things haven’t quite gone as planned at the San Siro for the 103-capped Denmark international, however.
Eurosport claims that Eriksen has been told that he can leave Inter in January with West Ham eyeing up a shock swoop for the midfield play-maker.
Let’s all get real here, eh?
There is absolutely no chance that we will be signing the 28-year-old Dane in January.
First and foremost, the last thing David Moyes needs to do in January is bring another attack minded midfielder to the London Stadium.
Signing a central midfielder and a centre-forward should be the West Ham manager’s priority.
Secondly, Eriksen earns a whopping £260,000 per week at Inter (Guardian).
And finally, the Dane has a track record of only showing up when he wants to. This is something the Hammers have been trying to get away from in the past few years.
Too often we have signed big name players who are looking for a big pay day in London.
Moyes has made it clear that he wants to sign young, up and coming talents. It is clear that Eriksen doesn’t fit into that category.
And with that in mind, we can take this rumour very much with a pinch of salt.
