Inter Milan have a three-man shortlist as they plan to make a midfield signing in January.

Corriere dello Sport says Inter are prepared to splash out big for the right addition.

Chelsea playmaker Cesc Fabregas, Sampdoria's Denis Praet and Lyon midfielder Lucas Tousart are all on Inter's shopping list.

Tousart is top of the agenda, though Cesc is seen as the cheaper version.

Praet is also being considered, though Samp coach Marco Giampaolo is reluctant to lose the Belgian.
