Christian Eriksen has been left out of Tottenham's squad to face Southampton in the FA Cup fourth round with the player close to sealing a £16.8m move to Inter Milan.
The report claims an outline agreement is in place to be finalised next week for the 27-year-old, who has just six months left on his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium.
And despite his patchy form in recent weeks, Eriksen is expected to command a fee of around £17.5million.
He would be the third player to leave the Premier League to sign for Inter during this January transfer window, following the arrivals of Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea.
