Arsenal to wrap up Brozovic signing

Arsenal are prepared to finalize a deal for Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic in the winter transfer window.

The Croatian international joined the Nerazzurri on an 18-month loan deal from Dinamo Zagreb in January, with a view to a permanent switch further down the line.

Brozovic has since then been in top form for the San Siro outfit, and a permanent switch is likely to be made in the New Year.

Calciomercato says the Serie A high-flyers are prepared to cash in on the player's services straight away, with the Gunners willing to pay a fee of around £11.9m.

It is added that such a deal would constitute an instant £4m profit for Roberto Mancini's side, who are leading the Serie A standings with 36 points.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has recently stated that he will booster his midfield ranks following long-term injuries to Francis Coquelin and Santi Cazorla.
