CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN is set to have a medical at Inter Milan on Monday ahead of his £17million move from Tottenham, according to reports.
Sky Sports Italy claim that the midfielder will be in Italy tomorrow to become the latest Premier League star to seal a switch to Antonio Conte’s side.

The former Chelsea boss is keen to add the Dane to his title-challenging outfit following swoops for Victor Moses and Ashley Young.
Eriksen was able to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs ahead of a summer move but a January deal turned out to be best for both parties.
Spurs were keen to recoup a small fee for the 27-year-old rather than risk losing him for free at the end of the season.
Jose Mourinho had admitted Eriksen, who was left out of the club’s squad for the 1-1 FA Cup draw with Southampton, had downed tools ahead of his imminent move away.
The Portuguese said: “If you ask me if I think this is the best Christian I have to be honest and say no.
“If you ask me if I know the reasons, I am not an idiot, I am in football for many years and know clearly a player in this situation is not a player that is even if he wants.
“I am not blaming or criticising the player, I am just saying it is normal a player in this situation doesn’t perform at the highest level.
“But I can also say that he is helping us in matches that he is playing with us.”
Eriksen, who has scored 51 goals in 222 Premier League games, was the subject of late transfer interest from Barcelona.
But the former Ajax star is now set to complete a switch to the San Siro to end the constant speculation surrounding his future this month.
Despite the rumours, Eriksen has still featured for Spurs recently, yet he was booed by a section of the home fans after emerging as a second-half substitute in Wednesday’s 2-1 win over Norwich.
