Arsenal want Federico Dimarco but the Inter Milan full back could now be offered up as part of a deal for Torino defender Bremer.

Arsenal signed a left back last summer as they secured Nuno Tavares from Benfica as cover for Kieran Tierney.

However, Tavares struggled in his first Premier League season and there now doubts over whether he can be a Premier League player.

That may send Arsenal back into the transfer market again, with both Oleksandr Zinchenko and Aaron Hickey being linked.

There is another name on the radar appears to be Dimarco as Arsenal potentially look towards Italy.

Arsenal want Federico Dimarco

TMW reported just days ago that Arsenal have shown an interest in signing Inter defender Dimarco.

Arsenal have allegedly made contact to try and set up a move, with Inter demanding up to £21million for the defender.

Dimarco is a naturally left-footed defender who has also played as a wing back and left-sided midfielder.

The 24-year-old could be a real option for Arsenal but their hopes may hinge on whether Inter can pull off a swap deal.

Calciomercato report that Inter are offering up either Dimarco striker Andrea Pinamonti in a deal for Torino defender Bremer.

It’s stated that Inter have an agreement in principle with Bremer’s representatives but no deal with Torino just yet.

The hopes is that Pinamonti or Dimarco are appealing enough to tempt Torino into a deal.

Arsenal’s cash could still tempt Arsenal into sending Dimarco to London rather than Turin, but that’s no sure thing.

This will be a concern for Arsenal – especially as they have been linked with Torino star Bremer too.

The Brazilian has been one of Serie A’s top defenders this season and Arsenal were keen in April according to TuttoJuve.

Arsenal may have wanted to sign Bremer and Dimarco this summer, but may instead have to sit and watch them be involved in the same swap deal.
