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.
