Inter Milan are reportedly keen to offer striker Eder in exchange for West Ham left back Arthur Masuaku.
General view inside the London Stadium
According to Calcio Mercato, Inter Milan are interested in striking a swap deal with West Ham United, as they want to give up Eder to get left back Arthur Masuaku.
Inter are set for yet another summer of change, with manager Stefano Pioli out of the club and a new manager on the way, believed to be Roma boss Luciano Spalletti.
New technical advisor Walter Sabatini will be hoping to make a host of new signings this summer to boost one of European football’s sleeping giants, with one surprise target emerging today.
Calcio Mercato report that Inter want to land West Ham United defender Arthur Masuaku, and are keen to propose a swap deal involving attacker Eder.

The Hammers signed Masuaku from Olympiakos last summer, and he has been competing with Aaron Cresswell to be Slaven Bilic’s first-choice left back with Aaron Cresswell, in what has been an up-and-down season for the Frenchman.
Masuaku, 23, has struggled for form and fitness during his time at the London Stadium, but recent performances have suggested that he could yet usurp Cresswell – if he stays in East London.
Italy’s Eder celebrates after scoring
Meanwhile, 30-year-old attacker Eder has hit eight goals and six assists for Inter this season, having penned a permanent deal with the club last summer after 18 months on loan from Serie A rivals Sampdoria.
The Italian international offers pace and creativity around a centre forward rather than leading the line himself, and he could provide some attacking firepower for Bilic if the Hammers decide to negotiate a swap deal with Inter.
