Ryan Taylor reports for the Mirror that Brooke Norton-Cuffy is attracting interest from Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli, having impressed during his spell in Serie A with Genoa.

Taylor points out that the defender has a sell-on clause in his contract, so Arsenal could be set to profit in the case of a January transfer.

Inter are perhaps the favourites, given they reportedly have a strong relationship with Norton-Cuffy’s agents Roc Nation Sports. If Luis Henrique leaves Inter in January, Norton-Cuffy would be among the club’s top targets.

Norton-Cuffy has survived the recent departure of former Genoa boss Patrick Vieira to retain his place in the team’s starting lineup, though he did suffer a setback this weekend as he was dismissed in second-half injury time against Cagliari.

The former Gunner picked up a second yellow card in the 93rd minute of the game, but as red cards go, it could have been worse. Genoa held on for the draw with 10 men, and they face 20th-placed Verona in Norton-Cuffy’s suspension game.

The dismissal was technically the second of Norton-Cuffy’s career, but his only other red card was overturned on appeal, so this will be his first ever suspension.

Norton-Cuffy has played 27 times for Genoa in total since his move in August 2024, starting 21 of those matches including every league game in 2025/26 so far.
