  /  autty

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has admitted that Christian Eriksen could end up leaving the club in January.

Italian giants Inter are reportedly considering a swoop for the playmaker, while Madrid and United have been tipped to revive their interest in the coming weeks.

Mourinho says Tottenham "have the control of the situation", but he doesn't know for certain what Eriksen's final decision will be.

When asked to address Eriksen's future ahead of Spurs' FA Cup third-round tie against Middlesbrough on Sunday, Mourinho told a press conference. "I don't know and I am being honest. You know the situation, in this moment he can agree with any club for the end of the season. That is one option.

"Another option is a club and himself want to do a deal in January, but in that situation, our club is in control. We have control of the situation. Another possibility is he stays.

"In this moment he is here, he is our player. I can say Harry Kane and Ndombele will not be at Middlesbrough, I can say Christian Eriksen will be at Middlesbrough."
