Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is wanted in the Italian Serie A this summer.

The Japanese right-back is a hot target for Coppa Italia winners and Champions League finalists Inter Milan.

Per Gazzetta dello Sport in Italy, Inter are willing to take Tomiyasu on loan this season, with an option to buy.

While he only started six Premier League games last term, Arsenal are not eager on a loan deal.

The club would rather keep Tomiyasu as cover, unless they get an appealing offer to sell him permanently.

The Gunners are seeking to raise funds after making a lot of high profile purchases.
