Inter Milan are willing to pay £11m plus two bonuses to sign Christian Eriksen from Tottenham this month, according to Sky in Italy.

Inter previously offered £8.5m for Eriksen but Spurs are holding out for their £17m valuation of the Denmark midfielder.

The Serie A club's sporting director Piero Ausilio told Sky in Italy on Monday night: "Christian Eriksen is an important player. We have submitted an official offer and now we are waiting."

Eriksen's agent Martin Schoots will meet with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy on Tuesday to discuss the situation.

Schoots was in Italy last week meeting with Inter representatives as talks continued over a January switch.

Eriksen made clear last summer that he was ready to leave Tottenham, although no move materialised then.

Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho says Christian Eriksen should 'hold his head high' if he decides to leave the club in January.

His contract expires in the summer and he has been free to negotiate a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs since January 1.
