Inter Milan midfielder Christian Eriksen must take a big drop in his £100k-a-week wages if he is to seal a move to Arsenal or West Ham.

Both the Hammers and Gunners are credited with an interest in the Danish midfielder. However, as per the Telegraph, Eriksen would need to take a sizeable drop in his wages should he want a move back to England.

That’s because his £100k-a-week salary in Italy is that figure, after tax. According to Bleacher Report, that was one of the key factors in the four and a half year deal Eriksen signed in January.

This latest update puts the ball firmly in Eriksen’s court it seems, with Inter likely to be willing to allow the Dane to move on if he wants.

Arsenal and West Ham have shown interest, with the Gunners said to be keen on the former Spurs man to solve their creativity issues with Mesut Ozil still outcasted.

Eriksen’s call to make but Arsenal and West Ham right not to pay over the odds – TBR View

Eriksen is a fine midfield player but given his last year, it’s only fair that Arsenal and West Ham look to pay him considerably less than what he gets at Inter.

His performance levels haven’t warranted those sorts of figures. Although, in fairness, he’d still get a nice contract from either club you would think.

Eriksen has a big call to make here. Does he sit it out in Italy and lap up the cash, or does he put football first and look to seal first-team football back in the Premier League? It’s a decision only he can make.
