Christian Eriksen posts goodbye message to Tottenham fans after sealing Inter Milan move

Christian Eriksen has bid farewell to Tottenham fans after completing a protracted move to Inter Milan.

Eriksen ended a six-and-a-half-year stay with Spurs by moving to Serie A on Tuesday, six months after publically declaring his desire to leave for a new challenge.

The Denmark international joined from Ajax for £11.5million in 2013, as one of seven signings funded by Gareth Bale's world-record £85m move to Real Madrid.

The 27-year-old leaves after 306 appearances, 69 goals, 89 assists and having been named Tottenham's player of the year twice. But could not help them to silverware, finishing as runner-up in the 2014 League Cup and 2019 Champions League.

Eriksen posted on across social media: "Dear Tottenham fans, I don't know where to start!

"I didn't have time to say goodbye to everyone, even though I felt like I played a lot of games where everyone said and thought I would be gone the next day.

"I have so many unbelievable memories over the last [six-and-a-half years] I was at Spurs.

"I enjoyed being at the training ground every day and playing games in the stadium so much, but sometimes you just want to try something new!

"So, Spurs fans, it has been a pleasure to play at your club and hopefully we meet again in the future!

"All the best, Christian."
