Indeed, Eriksen has earned a WhoScored rating lower than a 6.35 in 35 Premier League matches since moving to north London, 11 of which (31.4%) have come this season. That being said, despite underwhelming and a lack of minutes under both Mauricio Pochettino and Mourinho, Eriksen has showed glimpses of his immense creative ability, with his pass for Serge Aurier to tee up for Dele Alli on Boxing Day against Brighton a prime example. 

What’s more, only Son Heung-Min (25) has created more goalscoring chances than Eriksen (23), so it’s clear that the latter has been pulling the strings where required. Yet, a sub-par display against Liverpool on Saturday, and the subsuquent reaction from Eriksen at full time where he appeared to be waving his goodbyes to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, was the clearest indication that his days in the capital were numbered. 

And if he can return to his peak with Inter in Antonio Conte’s 3-5-2 setup, then the Nerazzurri have just the player to haul them to their first Scudetto since 2010. Some may hint that in leaving Spurs for Inter, Eriksen is taking a backwards step in his career, but unlike Spurs, Inter remain in a title race and have a better chance of participating in the 2020/21 Champions League than Mourinho’s side at the time of writing. 

Given only Atalanta (49) and Lazio (41) have scored more goals than Inter (40) in Serie A this season, another attacking player may not be high on the priority list for Conte, but when considering top scorer Romelu Lukaku (23) ranks third for chances created and Marcelo Brozovic (28), a central midfielder by trade, places first for key passes, an additional creator in the final third would undoubtedly improve Inter’s chances of silverware and Eriksen ticks all the boxes.
