Internal politics at Inter Milan have thrown Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen‘s potential move to the San Siro in doubt, according to the Daily Mirror. The paper reports the Dane is keen to leave Spurs and Inter chief executive Giuseppe Marotta is keen to have him, hence the club making a  £20million offer for the 27-year-old. However, Inter manager Antonio Conte would prefer Barcelona’s Arturo Vidal.

The Daily Telegraph says Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud is also being watched by Conte. The France international, 33, joined up with the Italian at Chelsea two years ago, and is thought to favour a move to Italy ahead of joining a Premier League relegation battle. Aston Villa and Newcastle are said to be watching the former Arsenal forward keenly.

Back to Italy and Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar is being closely watched by Barcelona and Real Madrid, but he could end up at Manchester City. The Daily Mirror reports that Pep Guardiola is being given the support by club bosses to recruit heavily in January. Skiniar, 24, will be targeted to bolster the team’s defensive options.
