Gunners to swoop for Inter Milan’s Stevan Jovetic

Stevan Jovetic

Arsenal will try and land Stevan Jovetic as Inter Milan look to offload the forward.

Inter took Jovetic on a season-long loan from Manchester City at the start of last season with the obligation to buy him for £11.5million at the end of the deal.

But Inter are now reportedly looking to move the Montenegrin striker on and will ask for the £11.5million fee off suitors, so they can pay off City.

Arsenal are believed to have shown an initial interest in a potential deal but they will have to battle with Spartak Moscow for his signature.

Meanwhile, talks are stalling between Arsenal and Roma over a deal to extend Wojciech Szczesny's loan.

The Polish goalkeeper had appeared set to remain in the Italian capital for another year and the two clubs have been trying to come to a new loan agreement.

But Arsenal do not want to pay the same percentage of Szczesny's wages that they did last season and talks have come to a halt.

As it stands, Szczesny is expected to report to Arsenal's pre-season training when he returns from Euro 2016 duty.
