According to Inside Futbol, Inter Milan are now prepared to compete with Arsenal to sign Alessio De Cruz from Serie B side Novara.
The Dutch winger has attracted interest from giants such as Inter and Arsenal since joining Novara, after some very impressive performances in Italy’s second tier.
Other Premier League clubs are monitoring De Cruz’s performances but The Gunners would want to bring him in as a long-term replacement for Theo Walcott.
Da Cruz progressed through FC Twente’s academy in his home country of The Netherlands and impressed when on loan to FC Dordrecht, scoring five and getting two assists.
He then earned his move to Italy in the summer, where he has scored five goals and assisted twice in 14 games, so there is many reasons why many of the European giants are interested in the 20-year-old.
Arsenal may find it hard to sign Da Cruz, as he is used to Italian football and he may struggle being thrown into the deep end of the Premier League without even touching any top flight football, but, if The Gunners manage to get Champions League football, it’d be hard for the Dutchman to say no.
