Arsenal make 'big offer' to sign Nice star Dalbert, Inter also interested - Di Marzio
ARSENAL have made a "big offer" to sign Nice left-back Dalbert, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.
Dalbert, 23, enjoyed a sensational season for Nice last term as he helped them finish third in Ligue 1.
The French side will have a taste of Champions League football next season, but will have to go through the qualifying rounds to reach the group stage.
However, Di Marzio claims the Brazilian may not be at the club beyond this summer with Arsenal expressing an interest in him.
It is said the Gunners are now serious contenders to sign him after tabling a bid for his services.

Arsene Wenger is keen to bolster his ranks ahead of next season as he wants to kick start a new era at the club after signing a two-year contract extension.
He has already signed left-back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke on a free transfer.
But he needs to bring in more reinforcements with Kieran Gibbs looking destined to leave for Watford.
Nacho Monreal has also been linked with the exit door with Athletic Bilbao said to be interested.

And Dalbert could fit the bill with his arrival set to provide healthy competition for Kolasinac.
But Di Marzio say the Gunners will face competition from Inter Milan to sign him.
The Serie A side have apparently expressed a desire to sign him for several weeks.
Yet it appears as if they will have to gazump Arsenal's offer in order to bring him to Italy.
Dalbert is contracted to Nice until the summer of 2021.
