Tottenham face a fresh battle over keeping hold of Christian Eriksen.

In Italy, it's claimed Frank de Boer wants to make the Dane his first signing as new Inter Milan coach.

De Boer will be named Inter coach today after Roberto Mancini agreed to leave Inter on Sunday.

The Dutchman worked with Eriksen at Ajax and is keen on a reunion.

Encouraging De Boer and Inter to bid is the news that Eriksen has again rejected an approach from Spurs to open new contract talks.
