Negotiations Over Eriksen Price Ongoing With Inter
Daniel Levy wants £17m to sell Christian Eriksen this month and at the moment Inter are only offering £8.5m, according to Sky Sports Italy.

Vertonghen Not Giving Anything Away On Contract
“I feel like everything I say will affect it in one way or the other, so I prefer not to answer, the Belgian told Sky Sports. “I’m a happy man. I love the guys. Life is good in London and at this great club. That’s all I want to say.”
I suspect Jose Mourinho got his way with Toby Alderweireld’s new deal, but Levy isn’t going to do business with a second defender who is past 30.
Vertonghen probably wants to stay so doesn’t want to burn any bridges yet.
