The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has been a big admirer of the Swiss International's talents over the years, and was interested in acquiring Inler's services during his Udinese days.<br />

The tough-tackling midfielder made a switch to the Serie A giants Napoli in 2011, and recently featured against the Gunners in the 2-0 Champions League defeat at the Emirates.<br />

Wenger is keen on adding an extra defensive midfielder to his setup, in order to provide stiff competition to the likes of Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini for a first team spot. <br />

Arsenal would require a transfer fee in the region of  £12.5m to acquire the player's services.<br /><br />
