Inter Milan are ready to make a swap offer for Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil in January.

The Sunday Express says the Serie A heavyweights are ready to test the Gunners' resolve.

Ozil looks set to leave north London having failed to agree fresh terms with the club.

Inter can hold talks with him in January about a summer move, but would prefer a midseason deal.

It's suggested Joao Mario could be used as a sweetener to sign the former Real Madrid man.
