Inter Milan coach Antonio Conte denies he's been publicly trying to sign Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen.

Conte again addressed the criticism of Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho after Sunday's 1-1 draw with Lecce.

He said, “I never said anything unusual about the January transfer marking making it difficult for all coaches. Every time I say something, it always gets amplified or twisted by the media.

“I repeat, I am happy with these players. The club is making its evaluations, we must try to keep working if we want to maintain a solid points average.

“The club has to decide if it wants to do something, if it wants to do it at a good price for the market or take a different approach. I am just a coach, I leave that to them."
