Inter Milan are reportedly exploring options to bolster their squad and have set their sights on Arsenal's Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Ukrainian full-back, who has seen limited playing time at the Emirates Stadium, has emerged as a potential target for the Nerazzurri.

As the summer transfer window heats up, top clubs across Europe are actively seeking reinforcements to strengthen their squads. Inter Milan, the reigning Serie A champions, are no exception. The Nerazzurri are keen to maintain their domestic dominance and make a significant impact in the UEFA Champions League.

Zinchenko's versatility and experience

According to reports from Fotospor, Inter Milan have identified Zinchenko as a potential candidate to strengthen their left-back position. The Ukrainian international has previously showcased his versatility, having played in both defensive and attacking roles during his time at Manchester City. This adaptability could make him a valuable asset for Simone Inzaghi's side.

A potential move to Serie A

A move to Serie A could offer Zinchenko a fresh start and the opportunity to rediscover his best form. The Italian top flight is known for its tactical and physical demands, and the Ukrainian defender's experience in the Premier League could be beneficial in adapting to a new league.

Competition from Fenerbahçe

However, Inter Milan are not the only club interested in signing Zinchenko. Turkish giants Fenerbahçe have also expressed their interest in the Ukrainian. José Mourinho, the Special One, is reportedly keen to reunite with Zinchenko, having previously worked with him at Manchester City.

Arsenal's perspective

Arsenal, on the other hand, are facing a decision regarding Zinchenko's future. With the Ukrainian struggling for regular first-team football, the Gunners may be open to selling him this summer, especially if they can secure a suitable fee.

Conclusion

The pursuit of Oleksandr Zinchenko highlights Inter Milan's ambition to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. The Ukrainian full-back's versatility and experience make him an attractive target for many top clubs. However, with competition from Fenerbahçe, it remains to be seen whether Inter Milan will be successful in their pursuit of the Arsenal defender.
