Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia journalist and transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio has revealed that Inter manager Antonio Conte has been far from impressed with Christian Eriksen.
Eriksen arrived in a circa €20 million deal from Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in the most recent January transfer window but has left a lot to be desired with his performances for the most part.
The Danish national team attacking midfielder has shown glimpses of what he is capable of but largely struggled to adapt to Conte’s 3-5-2 system and this led to a change to a 3-4-1-2 system but Eriksen, with the exception of the matches against Napoli and Sampdoria, has not done any better.
“Conte is not happy with Eriksen. For now, Inter are not thinking about selling him, it is premature and we must give him time but Conte wants a different intensity and wants more from Eriksen,” Di Marzio explained whilst present in the Sky Sport Italia studios prior to Inter’s 2-2 draw with Hellas Verona at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi.
Eriksen was dropped to the bench for the clash and was a late substitute but was unable to make any sort of impact in his few minutes on the field.
