Arsenal are in desperate need of a top class centre midfielder
following the exits of Gilberto Silva, Aliaksandr Hleb and Mathieu
Flamini.
The Gunners have been linked with a whole host of names,
including Gareth Barry, Miguel Veloso, Marcos Senna, Torsten
Frings, Yaya Touré, and even Xabi Alonso.
The North Londoners have also been associated with Inler in
recent weeks, and The People now claims that the club have
re-entered the race to sign him, along with Newcastle.
The 24-year-old Inler was a virtual unknown when he signed for
Udinese from FC Zurich last year, however the midfielder had a
superb first season in Serie A, and earned widespread praise from
the critics.
Inler’s fine performances have led to interest from a number of
other big European teams, including Liverpool, Juventus and Inter,
however most recently there were reports in the English and Italian
press that the player could be set for a move to Newcastle
United.
Only a couple of weeks ago Inler revealed his intention to stay
at Udinese, stating: “My head is at Udinese. I want to have a good
season with my team.”
However, were Arsenal to table an official bid for the Swiss
star, it remains to be seen whether he could turn down a move to
the Emirate Stadium.
