Arsenal, Inter Milan preparing January move for versatile defender

English Premier League side Arsenal and Italian Serie A giants Inter Milan are both in the race for Turkish outfit Galatasaray star Ozan Kabak with both sides expected to submit offers for him when the winter transfer window reopens in coming days.

Reports from Turkey state that both sides have been monitoring the star player for a while and have now made up their mind to submit a bid for him.

Ozan Kabak has now become a regular in the Galatasaray team since joining his emergence on the scene of senior professional football and has impressed a lot to have secured this level of attention from other big sides.

The 18-year-old is one of the youngest playing in the Turkish Super Lig but he is one of the best with remarkable physical nature that has helped him survive.

Because of his young age and his rapid progress, there is no official price on the release clause of the prodigy but suggestions are that both clubs must pay big if they must land him as early as in the coming winter window.

Arsenal are in need of defenders and will do all it takes to land the star player as soon as the transfer window reopens.
