Back in January 2020, Eriksen transferred to Conte’s Inter Milan for a €20 million deal. Now, the current Tottenham manager admits that he longs to work with his old teammate. The Dane has agreed to a six months contract with an option to extend further.
Conte said at a press conference: “For sure, Eriksen is part of Tottenham’s story and to come back here could be a good opportunity for me, him and the club.”
“I am the first person to be happy to see him again on the pitch. We spent a good time at Inter, we won the league and we spent two important seasons together and I wish him the best. You don’t know what can happen in the future. It’d be good for me to have him again and work together.”
