Inter to turn to Arsenal's Balogun after Lukaku mess

Inter Milan have walked away from talks with Chelsea over Romelu Lukaku, after they found he was discussing a move to Serie A rivals, Juventus at the same time. This leaves them without a '9' upfront and the management have begun to explore other options.

According to 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', the Coppa Italia holders have eyes on Arsenal's Folarin Balogun instead of the Belgian. The youngster is fresh off a stunning loan spell in Ligue 1 with Reims, where he scored 21 times in 37 appearances. 

He is also likely to give the green light to a move, as he has struggled to break through at Emirates, and has been open about the fact that he's looking to secure more regular game time, even if that means leaving North London.

He has no shortage of suitors, with 'Daily Mail' reporting that even the Blues are interested, and it appears that the Gunners won't let him go cheaply, with 'Sky Sports' writing that the club could be expecting as much as £50 million for the 22-year-old.
