Tottenham boss Mourinho slams Conte over Eriksen comments

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has taken aim at Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte over their pursuit of Christian Eriksen.

The Dane will be out of contract in the summer with reports stating he is set to move to the Serie A club.

"I think Antonio. He has said publicly [about Eriksen]," Mourinho said.

"I think we coaches should all behave in the same way in relation to transfers. I think we should always be closed, until something happens."

The Spurs boss added: "So when you ask me about player A, B or C, like when I was asked about three players, how can I speak about three players that are not my players?

"I think we should always be protective. Nothing, nothing. When I see people with responsibilities, speaking about Eriksen...

"I think we shouldn't speak about players from other clubs until they become our players."
