Inter Milan have their eye on Arsenal defender

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.
