# Tottenham Hotspur: Christian Eriksen could return to Spurs as swap deal proposed

**According to a report from [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/2020/11/03/calciomercato-inter-eriksen-tottenham-alli-rose-mourinho/), Tottenham could re-sign Christian Eriksen in January as Inter Milan entertain the possibility of a swap deal involving either Danny Rose or Dele Alli. This report comes just a week after prominent Italian journalist Mario Sconcerti claimed that the Dane’s situation is now a ‘[serious case](https://sempreinter.com/2020/10/23/mario-sconcerti-inter-attacking-midfielder-christian-eriksen-doesnt-seem-to-care-much/)‘.**

Eriksen, who left north London for the San Siro back in January, has found game time difficult to come by under Antonio Conte – particularly this season.

### Eriksen return on the cards

On the fringes of Conte’s plans, the [£45 million-valued ace](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/profil/spieler/69633) could well leave Inter just one year after putting pen to paper on a deal – with journalist Fabrizio Romano recently ruling out the possibility of a loan move.

Indeed, as the [transfer guru puts it](https://twitter.com/matthayesthfc/status/1324037432090779655), Eriksen’s departure from the Serie A giants will have to come in the form of a permanent move – and Jose Mourinho’s side are now being touted with a return for their former star.

As explained by Calciomercato, a swap deal including either Rose, who would strengthen Inter’s left side, or Alli is being entertained as a real possibility – especially considering both men find themselves in a difficult situation under Mourinho.

### Transfer Tavern take

Gareth Bale’s return to Hotspur Way was deemed a fairy tale, and with this report now claiming another hero could feasibly return, the story of happy reunions may not have ended yet.

Described as a player ‘[Jose really likes](https://twitter.com/GrahamRoberts4/status/1303247672493699072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1303247672493699072%7Ctwgr%5Eshare_3&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.footballtransfertavern.com%2Ftottenham-transfer-rumours%2Ftottenham-hotspur-ex-spurs-defender-graham-roberts-urges-club-to-re-sign-christian-eriksen-after-inter-fall-out%2F)‘ by Lilywhites legend Graham Roberts and as a ‘[genius](https://www.goal.com/en-in/news/spurs-missing-genius-eriksen-trophy-mourinho-hoddle/1wd61b32fgzqw12rdb30idlln0)‘ by Glenn Hoddle, Eriksen’s return to Spurs could definitely get fans talking.

Whether or not the move eventually happens is a different story, but judging by these recent claims, you cannot rule it out.
