Federico Dimarco

Arsenal’s long-standing pursuit of Inter Milan’s Federico Dimarco ends in disappointment as the Italian full-back commits his future to the Nerazzurri.

Alessandro Bastoni limped off during Inter Milan’s game against Venezia on Sunday, but he should be available to face Arsenal on Wednesday.

Arsenal’s Riccardo Calafiori injured during Italy’s 3-1 Nations League win over France, adding to the Gunners’ defensive concerns ahead of the North London derby.

Arsenal are interested in signing Federico Dimarco as backup to Kieran Tierney, but Inter Milan’s price tag is putting them off, according to a report.
