Antonio Conte has stated that he will like to work with former Inter Milan player Christian Eriksen.
Tottenham boss Antonio Conte has opened the door to a possible Tottenham return for Christian Eriksen after saying it would be ‘good opportunity’ to work together again.
The former Spurs midfielder completed a remarkable recovery from his cardiac arrest in the summer when he joined Premier League side Brentford on a six-month deal and he could be involved against Manchester City on Wednesday night.
“Honestly I was surprised about the situation because in my mind, I thought Christian needed more time before coming back to play in England,” Conte said.
“For sure, Eriksen is part of Tottenham’s story. To come back here would be a good opportunity for him, for me, for the club.
“But now he’s signed for Brentford, only six months, and we’ll see what happens.
“I was lucky because I met him on Sunday and it was good to speak with him. I saw him with his family and it was good. I’m the first person to be happy to see him again on the pitch because we spent a really good time at Inter Milan together.
“We won the league, we spent two important seasons together. I wish him all the best for the future. And you don’t know what will happen. It would be good for me to have him again, to work together.”
