Gokhan Inler deal talks stall

Udinese's contract talks for midfielder Gokhan Inler have appeared to have stalled. It is believed that Arsenal are still interested in the Swiss international and ready to pay up to £12 million for the player.

Inler is apparently looking for a wage close to £80,000 per week to sign a new deal in Udine, but his club are only prepared to offer half of that.

With Arsene Wenger a big admirer of the player, and desperate to land a centre midfielder to replace Patrick Vieira who left in 2005, Inler could be the perfect tonic for Arsenal.
