Arsenal make shock offer for United target

English Premier League outfit Arsenal made a shock bid for Manchester United long-term target Ivan Perisic with the hope of securing his service before this January winter runs out in coming Thursday.

This is coming after the Italian Serie A outfit Inter Milan made it public that the player is up for sale, according to a BBC report.

Ivan Perisic is Man United long term target who is being loved by former Manager Jose Mourinho. An attempt to have him leave the San Siro in the last summer window failed as the Serie A outfit were reluctant in having him leave the club.

However, with his availability, the North London side are ready to play a fast one on the Red Devils to capture the experienced player who has not been in the best of form for Inter Milan in this season.

The Gunners are hoping that Ivan Perisic can come in to replace outgoing Wales international Aaron Ramsey who is destined to leave the club when his contract expires at the end of the season.

However, reports claim that the North London outfit have approached the San Siro outfit to secure Ivan Perisic on a loan deal with the option of a permanent buy at the end of the season.
