According to a report from Calciomercato, 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'.
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 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, 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' by Lilywhites legend Graham Roberts and as a 'genius' 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.
