West Ham have made a concrete move to sign Inter Milan ace Christian Eriksen, according to a report from FC Inter News.

The Hammers were first linked with a move to sign the former Tottenham play-maker at the start of last month (Eurosport).
David Moyes has little money to spend at the London Stadium.
So on first glance, the links with Christian Eriksen seemed to be tenuous to say the least.
Gazzetta dello Sport (Print edition, December 22nd, pages 2 and 3) then suggested that Inter Milan are willing to send the 28-year-old former Spurs ace out on loan this month.
Christian Eriksen to West Ham a possibility?
Perhaps West Ham could sign Eriksen on loan with an option to buy. The 103-capped Denmark international’s creativity and guile would undoubtedly be a huge asset for the Hammers.
We are an extremely solid, well-organised team. Sometimes we do lack that little bit of magic and craft, however.
Christian Eriksen would solve that problem in an instant.
This is still one transfer that is highly unlikely to happen, not least because of the 28-year-old’s whopping £229k-a-week wages (Salary Sport).
It will probably depend on how much Eriksen is willing to sacrifice in order to move back to the Premier League.
And then who knows? Stranger things have happened. Perhaps the West Ham owners will have a surprise in store for us this month.
