Inter Milan are ready to move for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.

Inter see Balogun as an alternative to Romelu Lukaku after pulling out of talks with Chelsea over a permanent deal for the Belgian.

Inter will now have to re-direct their pursuit and according to Sky Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio, it is the USA international who is at the top of the list.

Balogun, 22, made a big splash on loan at Stade Reims last season, and has been clear that he does not want to be loaned out from Arsenal again.

Therefore, a permanent transfer seems to be on the cards, and Inter are ready to make a serious attempt this week.
