Real Madrid starlet in demand as Inter Milan join Arsenal in transfer chase

Arsenal target Casemiro has started attracting the attention of Inter Milan.

The Real Madrid midfielder has made nine La Liga substitute appearances this season and is regarded as one for the future at the Bernabeu, after joining from Sao Paulo in 2013.

The holding midfielder has broken into the Brazil national team, but has yet to play a competitive match for his country.

However, Real boss Carlo Ancelotti has raised the profile of the 21-year-old and Inter are ready to beat Arsenal to his signature with a deal in the summer.

Ancelotti will decide at the end of the season whether he should continue nurturing Casemiro or cash-in.
