Inter Milan set to make £8million bid for Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen
Inter Milan are planning a bid to sign Arsenal captain Thomas Vermaelen during the January transfer window.
Vermaelen, who has fallen down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium, has made just one Premier League so far this season.
And after suggesting last month that he might have to leave Arsenal to in order to play for Belgium at the World Cup, Inter Milan are lining up a bid.
The Serie A side are cash-rich after being taken over by Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir; and Vermaelen is among their top targets.
Its thought that they will test Arsenals resolve with an £8million bid, but could even go to £10million to try and get the deal done.
Arsene Wenger suggested in his press conference before the Crystal Palace match that his skipper was disappointed with life in north London, but urged him to stay patient.
He is rightly frustrated because he has the quality to play, because he behaves with a fantastic attitude and is a credit to our job. I can understand completely his frustration.
Vermaelen is contracted to Arsenal until 2015.
