Arsenal are eyeing Inter Milan attacker Nicolo Barella.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is in the market for a new midfield schemer as Dani Ceballos angles to return to parent club Real Madrid once his loan expires.

The well-connected FCInterNews says Arsenal have expressed interest in young Italy international Barella.

The Londoners have been tracking the midfielder since his time breaking through at Cagliari.

The problem for Arsenal, however, is Inter have no plans to part with Barella and it will take the cash-strapped Gunners to cough up big to bring them to the table.
