Italian side Inter Milan have entered the race to sign Arsenal target Nabil Fekir, as per the reports.
According to TalkSport, Inter Milan’s scouts were present in an international friendly game between France and Denmark which ended in favour of France. Thanks to Alexandre Lacazette and Olivier Giroud for the two goals.
The scouts were keeping tabs on Fekir who impressed for France after coming on in the second half.
Arsenal have been keeping strong tabs on the Frenchman, however the reports claim that Inter boss Roberto Mancini is also taking keen interest in Lyon star and is likely to fight Arsenal to secure his summer deal.
Inter Milan have been struggling in the attacking areas this season despite of signing Lukas Podolski on a loan deal from Arsenal in winter window.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is not willing to sell their star man but a big offer could change his mind.
Fekir will prefer Arsenal over Inter Milan, as he has a dream to play under boss Arsene Wenger.
The 21-year-old has netted 11 goals along with 10 assists in the Ligue One so far this term.
Fekir who snubbed Algeria to play for France has a contract with Lyon until 2019.
