Agent: Inler interesting Arsenal
Udinese midfielder Gokhan Inler is an end-of-season target for Arsenal, according to the player's agent.
The 24-year-old defensive midfielder has made more than 50 appearances for the Serie A side since arriving from FC Zurich in summer 2007, helping the Zebrette reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals where they face Werder Bremen on Thursday night attempting to overturn a 3-1 first-leg deficit.
However, the Swiss international is already interesting a string of European high-fliers if his representitive is to be believed, with his club reportedly wanting in excess of £20 million for their prize asset.
“Arsenal FC, Real Madrid and Inter Milan, they all want to sign Gokhan," said Dino Lamberti.
“But I have heard that even Hamburg and Bayern Munich are monitoring Gokhan. However, there was no direct link between us yet.
“It is a fact that Udinese have already received an offer worth £16 million for Gokhan. This has been rejected as the chairman wants £22.5 million.
“Gokhan is so versatile that he could cope with playing in England, Spain and Germany.”
