West Ham have been named as surprise suitors to sign Christian Eriksen from Inter Milan in the January transfer window, according to Eurosport.
The former Tottenham attacking midfielder is believed to be free to leave when the transfer window opens next month and the Hammers could be among the interested parties.
The Danish international asked to leave the Serie A club, where he has struggled to have the desired impact since his move from Spurs earlier this year. The 28-year-old has appeared 10 times in all competitions this season but is yet to contribute either a goal or an assist.
Described during his time at Tottenham by his teammate Eric Dier as ‘a fantastic player with so much quality’, Eriksen would offer added creativity to almost any side in world football. He also has an impressive record in the Premier League, with 51 goals and 66 assists in the division during his time with Spurs.

David Moyes would surely jump at the chance to have a player like Eriksen in his squad at the London Stadium.
A proven Premier League performer who during his time in England created more chances than anybody else, Eriksen has the touch of class needed to break down opposition defences almost at will.
Should the price be right – he has a market value of £45m – if there is any truth in the interest and the Danish playmaker is interested in returning to London, Moyes should be doing everything in his power to make this move happen.
