Antonio Conte has refused to be drawn on whether or not Tottenham wanted to re-sign Manchester United star Christian Eriksen this summer. Eriksen, 30, spent six and a half years with the north Londoners previously and, also, played for Conte during his time in Italy with Inter Milan.
United won the race for Eriksen on a free transfer after his short-term spell at Brentford last season. He has shone for Erik ten Hag as a part of a double pivot - alongside Scott McTominay or Casemiro - but he remains a doubt for the meeting with his former club at Old Trafford on Wednesday night (8.15pm).
Eriksen missed the Newcastle draw, at the same venue, due to illness and is touch and go to be back available for this midweek showdown as Premier League games continue to come thick and fast. But was the Tottenham coach keen for a reunion this summer?
