Arsenal will compete with Inter Milan for the signing of Dalbert in the summer transfer window, according to reports in the Italian media.

GianlucaDiMarzio.com is reporting that the Gunners are interested in signing the 23-year-old defender to bolster their defensive options ahead of the 2017-18 Premier League season.

The same article states that the Italian club have been tracking Dalbert for several weeks but Arsenal will test Nice’s resolve with a “big offer” to sign the full-back.

Dalbert impressed in the Nice side despite his lack of experience in Ligue 1 after the left-back moved to the French Rivera from Portuguese club Vitória de Guimarães last summer.

Arsenal supporters may be surprised to see Arsene Wenger target another left-back after Bosnian defender Sead Kolasinac became their first signing of the summer transfer window last month.

The Bundesliga star completed a free transfer to the north London side from Schalke 04 to bolster Wenger’s options at left-back.

Kieran Gibbs and Nacho Monreal could be facing uncertain futures at the Emirates Stadium if Wenger manages to get a deal over the line for Dalbert.
