# Tottenham: Roberts says Spurs miss Christian Eriksen

**Graham Roberts believes Tottenham miss Christian Eriksen after the Denmark international moved to Inter Milan in January of 2020.**

### **The Lowdown: Eriksen departure**

Eriksen made the move to Spurs from Ajax in 2013 and ended up becoming one of the side’s best players, scoring 69 goals and providing 90 assists in 305 games ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633)).

However, he made it clear he wanted to depart, and moved to Inter in January 2020.

### **The Latest: Roberts thinks Spurs miss Eriksen**

On Twitter, a Spurs fan said the club miss Eriksen.

Roberts answer was short but sweet and straight to the point. [He simply said](https://twitter.com/GrahamRoberts4/status/1444684828922744832?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1444684828922744832%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fd-5331149870398005.ampproject.net%2F2109102127000%2Fframe.html):

> *“Agree”*

### **The Verdict: Never replaced**

It is hard to disagree with this statement. After all, the £36m-valued 29-year-old ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/marktwertverlauf/spieler/69633)) was an integral part of the side for seven years and even helped Spurs reach the Champions League final in 2019, which they ultimately lost to Liverpool 2-0 in Madrid.

It was after that match that he stated his desire to seek a new challenge ([The Guardian](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jun/05/tottenham-christian-eriksen-says-he-is-ready-for-a-new-challenge)).

Since then, things have not gone well for either. Spurs have only played one more Champions League campaign, while Eriksen has managed just [eight](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/christian-eriksen/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/69633) goals in 60 games for Inter. Unfortunately, the Lilywhites fan favourite has not played since he suffered a cardiac arrest playing for Denmark this summer ([Sky](https://news.sky.com/story/euro-2020-christian-eriksen-suffered-cardiac-arrest-on-pitch-doctors-say-as-he-sends-greetings-to-teammates-from-hospital-12331468)).

Perhaps a reunion of the two parties would not be the worst thing in the world if the playmaker’s health allows him to return to action.
