Conte could change his formation to 3-4-2-1 after Eriksen joins Inter (GdS)

Inter manager Antonio Conte could change his system to incorporate Christian Eriksen into the side once he joins according to a report in today's print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.

Conte has almost exclusively used a 3-5-2 system since taking charge of Inter this past Summer but could change to a 3-4-1-2 to allow Eriksen to play in his preferred attacking midfielder role. He might also opt for a 3-4-2-1 system and have Eriksen and Lautaro Martinez play in behind Romelu Lukaku.

Eriksen is on the verge of joining Inter and his agent Martin Schoots is currently in London holding talks with Tottenham Hotspur ahead of the next talks between the two clubs which are scheduled to take place this afternoon.

Inter have offered a deal worth €15 million in total but Spurs are understood to still be demanding €20 million for the 27-year-old. The inclusion of certain bonuses could well make the difference and allow Inter to get their man.
