Speaking to Sky Sports Italia, as translated by sempreinter.com, journalist and reliable source Gianluca Di Marzio has dropped an enticing Spurs transfer claim - going on to say that 'something is happening' in England with Christian Eriksen and that Tottenham Hotspur 'would be keen' to re-sign him on loan.

Eriksen has been heavily linked with a return to north London over this past week, with reports emerging that the Dane would also be open to a Spurs reunion following his unceremonious exit last January (Sky Sports).

Di Marzio drops Eriksen claim

Various sources have tipped the Lilywhites to be in with a chance of bringing the 28-year-old back to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, including Fabrizio Romano, who claims that Eriksen 'hopes' to make a Premier League return with manager Jose Mourinho interested (Twitter).

Dropping his latest update, Di Marzio has now added fuel to the fire - going on to state that 'something is happening' with Spurs apparently 'keen' on his return.

“Something is happening in England at the moment and his [Eriksen’s] agent is in discussions with various clubs to build interest,” Di Marzio explained to Sky via sempreinter.com.

“This hasn’t resulted in any formal offers yet, but Tottenham would be keen to bring him back on loan, even if they are required to complete a purchase later on.”

Transfer Tavern take

Di Marzio seems to hint that Eriksen making a return to Spurs is a possibility, and with the playmaker keen on a switch back to England, who better to make his dream a reality than his former club?

It's a potential transfer that could split hairs among supporters, and if Mourinho is gifted the second coming of Eriksen, it will be interesting to see where he could fit in the Portuguese' new look Tottenham team.
