Christian Eriksen completed his move from Tottenham to Inter Milan on Tuesday, becoming the Italian club’s third signing of the January transfer window.
Inter paid a reported 20 million euros ($22 million) for the 27-year-old Denmark midfielder despite his Tottenham contract expiring in July. Inter said he signed a five-season deal with the Serie A club through June 2024.
All three of Inter’s signings this month have come from the Premier League. Ashley Young joined from Manchester United and Victor Moses signed from Chelsea, although he spent the past year on loan at Turkish club Fenerbahçe.

Inter is challenging for the Serie A title and is currently second, three points behind eight-time defending champion Juventus after three straight draws.
Eriksen said in the offseason that he might want a new challenge after six years at Tottenham. His displays this season have dipped way below his usual standards, with even Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho saying he wasn't seeing the best Eriksen.
Eriksen has scored three goals in all competitions for Tottenham, where he has been used mostly as a substitute.

The Denmark playmaker has been one of Tottenham’s best players in recent years, his vision, set-piece delivery and goals crucial in making the team a regular in the Champions League and even challenging for the Premier League title.

GLASGOW, Scotland (AP) — Celtic fell to a stunning 3-1 loss to St. Mirren in the final of the Scottish League Cup on Sunday.
New Celtic manager Wilfried Nancy missed the chance to win his first trophy with the Scottish giant, having only been hired at the start of the month.
But a troubled season for Celtic got worse as Jonah Ayunga scored twice in the second half at Hampden Park to lift the trophy.
Marcus Fraser put St. Mirren ahead in the second minute, but Reo Hatate equalized in the 23rd. Ayunga struck in the 64th and 76th to seal a major upset.
Nancy joined Celtic from Columbus Crew after a difficult start to the campaign for the defending Scottish Premiership champion.
Former manager Brendan Rodgers resigned in October with Celtic eight points adrift of league leader Hearts at the time. Celtic was also knocked out of the Champions League by Kazakhstan minnow Kairat Almaty.
Former manager Martin O’Neill and Shaun Maloney were put in temporary charge before Nancy was hired.
Celtic was defending its trophy in the League Cup, having won it for a 22nd time last season.
