J. Mourinho: I knew that C. Eriksen would not stay at "Tottenham"

"Tottenham" coach Jose Mourinho spoke about the separation from midfielder Christian Eriksen. The 27-year-old Dane moved to Serie A club Inter Milan in the last days of January. "We have known for a long time that he did not want to extend his contract. We did not make public this issue out of respect for the player, but from the first day of my arrival to the team, I knew that Christian did not intend to sign a new contract. Then we had to solve this situation with the team owner Daniel Levy. I had a player who, even without great motivation, was a true professional and, after all, "Tottenham" managed to reach a good deal until the end of the athlete's contract with just half a year left," said J. Mourinho.
