Christian Eriksen is in Milan to complete a medical ahead of a £17.5million transfer to Inter.

The Dane was not included in Tottenham’s 18-man squad for their 1-1 draw against Southampton in the FA Cup on Saturday, even though he had travelled to St Mary’s with the rest of the players.

Eriksen, 27, arrived in Milan on a private jet on Monday morning and is expected to sign a four-year deal with Inter after completing a medical. The deal will reportedly include a €1m (£842,000) payment to Eriksen’s youth clubs, while Spurs will pocket the proceeds of a friendly game with Inter.

Speaking after Saturday’s match, Mourinho blamed the Serie A club for the hold-up in Eriksen’s departure. “This situation shouldn’t happen on January 25,” the Spurs manager said. “And it’s not Tottenham’s fault that on January 25 we’re in the situation.”

Steven Bergwijn is expected to replace Eriksen in Mourinho’s squad.
