Arsenal midfielder agrees terms with Inter Milan?

Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is reportedly deemed to have reached a verbal agreement to join Inter Milan amid the breakdown in contract talks with the Gunners.

The Wales international had been close to penning an extension during the month of September but the club's hierarchy thereafter made a surprise decision to terminate any discussions.

Since then, the 27-year-old has been linked with a wide range of clubs but according to La Repubblica, the Nerazzurri are said to have a verbal agreement to recruit him next summer.

However, the same report suggests that manager Luciano Spalletti is keen on a mid-season deal for the former Cardiff City graduate and the club may seek to negotiate with the Gunners when the transfer window reopens next month.

Ramsey, who has just seven months on his contract, was an unused substitute against Burnley on Saturday where the Gunners secured a 3-1 triumph. He could, however, feature in the Boxing Day clash against Brighton & Hove Albion on the road.
