Tottenham boss Conte: I'd like to coach Eriksen again

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte admits he'd like to coach Manchester United midfielder Christian Eriksen again.

The pair won the Scudetto together at Inter Milan.

Ahead of this week's clash, Conte said: "I don't want to speak about player of other team. For sure, Christian is a player, I enjoy to work with him.

"He's a player that I would like to train him again, to have in my squad. But you know very well, transfer market is very difficult and I think he made a big choice, a big choice to go to United, to sign for three years of contract.

"For him, I wish the best for him, for his family. Apart from the game against us! Then for the rest of the season, to be always the best on the pitch."t

Asked if he tried to sign the Dane, Conte added: "Now it's not important to tell yes or not, you understand. But for sure I think Christian was a player that every club tried to bring into the team."
