Serie A champions Inter have made contact with Arsenal regarding the signing of full-back Hector Bellerin.

That’s according to uber-reliable Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio. A report on his official website states the Nerazzurri are considering a loan-to-buy deal.

It’s claimed Inter are now concentrating on life without Achraf Hakimi, who recently completed a move to Ligue 1 giants PSG.

Bellerin is being touted as the key target, but Chelsea full-back Davide Zappacosta, who spent last season on loan at Genoa, is also listed as a potential option.

The report on Di Marzio’s website additionally claims Arsenal are hoping to scoop up around €20 million for the Spaniard.

Bellerin has with the Gunners since 2011, making a total of 239 senior appearances for the club thus far, but has been continually linked with moves away from the Premier League.

For Inter, should the move come off, they’ll be getting a solid option at right-back, which is even more important in the wake of Hakimi’s high-profile transfer to PSG.
