The Denmark international is coming into his prime and his development under Pochettino means the hard working side to his game would greatly appeal to Conte and the Inter faithful. Stefano Sensi started the season brightly as Inter’s link between the midfield and attack, but injuries have restricted the 24-year-old to just one league start since September and even so; Eriksen is arguably a level above Sensi. 

The fact that Eriksen (570) has created more Premier League goalscoring opportunities since his arrival in 2013 reinforces his creative quality and it’s this strength to his game that star strike duo Lukaku and Lautaro Martinez can very much maximise. Conte is already blessed with ample midfield options for his favoured 3-5-2 system, but in Eriksen, Inter would finally be landing a player to sufficiently replace Sneijder. The talented Ajax conveyer belt has already been kind to the Serie A title contenders and if Eriksen can return to his best in Italy, and Inter can win the race to sign the Spurs man, then 2020 promises to be a successul year for Conte’s side.
