29 Jan "I couldn't wait to get here”: Spurs star completes Serie A move

Posted at 00:52h in News by

Playmaker Christian Eriksen has completed his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan.

Eriksen, 27, joined the Italian giants for a fee of €20 million (A$33m) on a four-and-a-half-year contract.

Having scored 69 goals in 305 appearances for Spurs, the Dane can’t wait to work under Nerazzurri coach Antonio Conte.

"I couldn't wait to get here. It's amazing to be here,” Eriksen told Inter TV.

“I want the fans to know who I am, I already had the chance to feel their warmth, they gave me a fantastic welcome.

"I feel amazing. I had a chance to meet Conte when I was at Tottenham and we faced his Chelsea, it was very tough. The opportunity to meet him and learn how his teams play is very fascinating.

"I am very happy to play in Serie A and in a big team like Inter, a fantastic club."

Inter are three points behind reigning champions Juventus but have drawn their last three matches.

Spurs later confirmed the permanent signing of midfielder Giovani Lo Celso who is seen as Eriksen’s long-term replacement.

Lo Celso, who was on a season-long loan from Spanish side Real Betis, signed a five-and-a-half-year deal for a reported fee of £27m ($52m).
