Arsenal still in the hunt for Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen?

sportsmole.co.uk, 9 December 2020, 13:37

Arsenal reportedly still remain a possible option for Christian Eriksen as he attempts to escape from his Inter Milan nightmare.

The playmaker has had a bad time of things since arriving at San Siro in January, struggling to win a place in the side due to Antonio Conte 's formation.

Inter have publicly stated that they will not stand in Eriksen's way should he wish to leave, and a return to the Premier League has been strongly touted.

Arsenal are one of the sides to have been linked, despite the Denmark international spending six-and-a-half seasons with North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

According to Italian outlet Calciomercato, the Gunners are continuing to weigh up an approach ahead of the January window.

Borussia Dortmund, Manchester United, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid and Inter's domestic rivals Juventus have also supposedly showed an interest.
