Report Suggests Tottenham Signing Gedson Fernandes To Replace Inter Target Christian Eriksen

Tottenham are looking to sign Portuguese midfielder Gedson Fernandes this month to replace the outgoing midfielder Christian Eriksen, according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sky Sports Italia today.

The report details how the North London club are preparing to lose their 27-year-old Danish talisman, who has been with the club since 2013.

The club are hoping to sign 21-year-old Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes to replace him. Spurs have prepared an 18-month loan deal for the player, with an option to buy set at around €50-60 million in June of 2021.

The Nerazzurri are hoping that this move would help them sign Eriksen this month, the report continues. Inter have reached an agreement with the 27-year-old Dane already but now must work with Tottenham to reach an acceptable compensation fee.

The North London club want around €20 million for his signature, a figure that the Nerazzurri feel is too high. The two clubs will meet this week to continue their negotiations.
