Arsenal’s out-of-favour defender Thomas Vermaelen has no
dearth of suitors despite failing to etch his name in the good books of manager
Arsene Wenger. According to reports in talkSPORT, Serie A giants Inter Milan
are keen to take the Belgian on board, thus offering him an escape route out of
the Emirates.
Vermaelen has fallen out-of-favour with Wenger ever since
his defensive lapses led the Gunners to a disastrous start last season. To add
to his woes, the duo of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny have been
massively impressive and frugal in the defence, helping the club bounce back to
fourth position in the league table last year, whilst also contributing to
their blazing start this year.
Meanwhile, Vermaelen is keen to bag regular first team
chances to reclaim his place in the Belgium starting eleven ahead of next
year’s FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil. Consequently, Inter have come into the
picture as suitors for his signature with their manager Walter Mazzarri
understood to be keeping tabs on the player.
The 27 year old was also believed to be wanted by the
likes of Manchester United and Barcelona during the summer transfer window.
However, the Belgian decided to stay on at the club and fight for his place in
the team.
