Respected journalist: Arsenal in talks to sign £35m star as Emery plots double swoop

According to respected BBC journalist David Ornstein, Arsenal are in talks with Inter Milan about signing Ivan Perisic on an initial loan ahead of a potential £35m move as Unai Emery looks to sign two players this month.

The boss has already admitted several times that he wants to strengthen before the close of the winter window and Ornstein claims Arsenal have now approached Inter about a surprise loan deal for Perisic.

The BBC journalist says Arsenal want to sign the 29-year-old on an initial loan with an option to buy for £35m in the summer and Perisic is believed to be open to the idea of leaving the San Siro.

The Croatian international signed a five-year deal in September 2017 after being linked with a move to Man Utd that summer but he’s struggled for form this season after losing the World Cup final back in July.
