Conte says Eriksen will NOT leave Inter Milan this January

Inter manager Antonio Conte has gvien tranfer update ahead of the close of the January window while insisting that Christian Eriksen will stay with the club despite his continued links with a departure.

Jusy so you know Eriksen came off the bench to provide the match-winning goal on Tuesday, leading Inter to a 2-1 win over AC Milan.

The Danish star's goal came via a sensational free-kick in the 97th minute.

Eriksen is yet to find his feet in the Serie A since he joined Inter Milan last year January. 

“For a month now I’ve been saying the same thing: this is the Inter squad," Conte told RAI Sport. "Nobody will arrive, nobody will leave. I keep saying it and nobody seems to believe me.

“We are working with Eriksen on a tactical level to find an alternative for [Marcelo] Brozovic, because we don’t have someone like that in the squad.

“Christian is a very intelligent lad, he has quality, he’s part of the project and I am happy he scored that goal. I really wanted him to take it, as we all know the quality he has from set plays.

“He’s very shy, so I hope this goal can shake him up and make him come out of his shell. We all like him, he’s a good lad, perhaps too good! He needs to be more determined.”

Conte and co will now face Juventus in the Coppa Italia semi-final, which is set to take place over two legs.
