Chelsea first-team regular Mateo Kovacic is being eyed up by Serie A champions Inter Milan who have had to rush into the transfer market on the hunt for midfield reinforcements.
With Inter’s playmaker Cristian Eriksen not expected to play again following his recent heart attack incident during the Euros, the Italians are backed to find a replacement for the Danish international ahead of the next season.
Kovacic on Inter Milan’s radar for the summer window
The Croatian international was in fine form for Chelsea in the centre of the park before an injury in the backend of last season curtailed his minutes on the pitch.
However, with the 26-year-old one of the most influential midfield names in the Premier League, Inter Milan are interested in making a swoop for him on a loan basis, according to reports from The Mirror.
Chelsea boss Tuchel could give more playing time to youngster Billy Gilmour
After what was a truly tremendous shift for Scotland by the 20-year-old Billy Gilmour against England in the Euros group stage fixture, it is understood that Thomas Tuchel will be lured into giving more first-team football to the young midfielder.
Such a case could mean that the Blues gaffer will entertain offers for Kovacic who is now a major target for a cash-strapped Inter Milan side in this summer’s transfer window.
