Arsenal are eyeing £43m deal to sign Inter Milan star Federico Dimarco

According to Fichajes, Arsenal is considering an ambitious deal to capture Federico Dimarco, a top player for Inter Milan, this month. The Gunners have had an incredible season and are currently leading the Premier League standings by seven points over their nearest rivals, Aston Villa and Manchester City. They also have a perfect record in the Champions League, have advanced to the Carabao Cup final, and have made progress in the FA Cup.

However, manager Mikel Arteta is still dissatisfied with his team and wants to bolster it before the end-of-month transfer market shuts. A new left-back is being explored. Dimarco, who has been called “one of the best wide players in the world”, has been a consistent member of Inter Milan’s 3-5-2 lineup for a number of seasons and is their starting left wing-back.

However, a new left-back is being investigated since Piero Hincapie and Riccardo Calafiori have all had their fair share of injury issues this season, Myles Lewis-Skelly has struggled to make an impression in his second season of first-team play, and long-term plans call for him to return to midfield.

Arsenal’s move for Dimarco is overkill

The Italy international is seen by Arsenal as the perfect piece to complete their “definitive leap of quality” in order to contend for all of their trophies. He is reportedly valued at roughly €50 million (£43.5 million) by Inter, and while other teams are reportedly interested if he decides to leave the Serie A powerhouses, it is thought that he would like to join Arsenal.

Although Lewis-Skelly hasn’t been playing at his best, everyone has already witnessed the calibre of play he can provide if given the chance, and they already have the best defensive record in the Premier League. Any deal for Dimarco would be excessive given that Calafiori and Hincapie have also performed admirably.

Despite his greatness, he is more of a wing-back than a left-back, and placing him in a back four might also cause him to perform worse. The club should find a method to increase their offensive threat outside of set pieces instead of making this move, which is not essential at this time.
