Inter Milan completed the signing of Danish international midfielder Christian Eriksen from Tottenham Hotspur on Tuesday.

Eriksen, 27, has signed a contract until 2024 with the Italian giants after the clubs reached an agreement for a reported transfer fee of 20 million euros (£17 million, $22 million).

“We can confirm the departure of Christian Eriksen who has today completed a transfer to Inter Milan,” Tottenham said in a statement. “We wish you all the best for the future.”

Eriksen made 305 appearances for Spurs after joining from Ajax in 2013, scoring 69 goals.

Tottenham also confirmed the permanent signing of Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis to replace Eriksen on Tuesday.

Eriksen was a key part of the side that reached last season’s Champions League final and finished in the top four of the Premier League for the past four seasons under Mauricio Pochettino.

However, a contract standoff with the club meant a departure was inevitable either this month or on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Eriksen expressed his desire to move at the end of last season and was jeered by some Spurs fans in recent games as speculation over his future grew.

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho praised Dane’s professionalism but expressed frustration at the timing of the move after weeks of negotiations between the clubs.

“The only thing I can say is Eriksen since I arrive, he is behaving in a very, very professional way, with me and the team,” Mourinho said after Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Southampton.

“Tottenham is the last one to blame for this situation.”

Eriksen becomes Inter’s third signing of the January window after the arrivals of Ashley Young from Manchester United and Victor Moses on loan from Chelsea as they aim to end Juventus’ stranglehold on the Serie A title.

Antonio Conte’s men are three points behind Juve at the top of the table, but their title challenge has stumbled of late with three consecutive draws.

Arsenal, Everton in contention to sign Rodriguez in January transfer

Arsenal and Everton face a major obstacle in their bid to sign a Real Madrid star, while a Tottenham strike target is available for £25.2m, according to yesterday’s Euro Paper Talk. Everton and Arsenal reportedly have a problem in their January transfer pursuits of Colombia playmaker James Rodriguez. The 28-year-old returned to Real Madrid in the summer after spending two seasons on loan at Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich. Rodriguez has failed to live up to expectations after he burst onto the scene at the 2014 World Cup, with Los Blancos now keen to see him leave permanently. Reports over the past week stated that the former Porto and Monaco man is a target for the Premier League rivals, having made only 11 appearances in Spain so far this season. It is claimed that Rodriguez is tempted to link up with former boss Carlo Ancelotti at Goodison Park and force through a loan move, but Madrid will hold out for as long as possible to see him leave for good. Mikel Arteta is also known to adm...

Does the US have a problem with topless women?

Image copyright GETTY IMAGES Image caption Topless women in 2017 protest Women fed up with being forced to cover up their breasts and nipples are challenging American laws about nudity and sparking a debate about the country's attitude to the naked female form. In September, Effie Krokos was awarded a $50,000 (£38,178) civil settlement after she took her shirt off in public in Loveland, Colorado, and was issued a summons for doing so. The 20-year-old was charged with indecent exposure after she played Frisbee topless in her fiance's front yard. She had thought that the law in Colorado had changed and she was safe to take her shirt off when she got hot and sweaty during the game - after all her fiance had removed his top too. They were equal, right?
