Christian Eriksen tipped for FA Cup duty at Southampton, days before likely Inter Milan medical

Christian Eriksen has most probably played his final home game for Spurs but he could be involved at Southampton in the FA Cup this weekend.

A Press Association report, published by the Southern Daily Echo, claimed on Friday that Eriksen was expected to travel to St Mary’s with the rest of the Tottenham squad, despite intense speculation that a move to Inter Milan is imminent.

The PA report acknowledged rumours coming from Italy that Eriksen will head to Milan within days.

But they still believed he would be available against an opponent he has enjoyed facing in the past – Eriksen has four goals against Southampton to his name.

It is not just Italian publications claiming Eriksen is Milan-bound. The Guardian wrote on Friday afternoon that the Dane was set to have a medial in northern Italy early next week.

Eriksen is currently sat on 69 Spurs goals. He was booed recently by sections of the home support but one suspects he will be given a better send-off by the travelling following – especially if he can sign off with goal no.70 in a season-boosting cup win.
