TOTTENHAM and Arsenal appear set to miss out on signing French winger Yann Karamoh, who has been dubbed the ‘next Kylian Mbappe’.
Inter Milan look set to beat Spurs and Arsenal to Yann Karamoh
Tottenham and Arsenal emerged as suitors of 19-year-old Karamoh over the weekend.
The Sun on Sunday claimed the Premier League duo are chasing the Caen talent, who has just 11 months left on his contract.
Caen supposedly want just £9million for their academy product.
But reports in Italy today claim Inter Milan are on the charge for Karamoh and a deal could be wrapped up by Thursday.
According to Italian newspaper Tuttosport, Inter manager Luciano Spalletti is ‘angry’ that Karamoh has not yet arrived in Milan.
The boss has earmarked the France U21 gem as a top target for his side, having struggled in recent weeks to sign players.
Inter are having a disappointing transfer window considering their Chinese owners Suning Holdings Group brought plenty of optimism that a spending spree was in order at the start of the year.
Express Sport understands they are also targeting Liverpool’s Sadio Mane.
Arsenal are said to have earmarked Karamoh after failing to make any progress in a deal for Mbappe.
Monaco rejected the Gunners’ £87m bid for Mbappe, who they value at over £100m.

As for Spurs, they are yet to sign anyone this summer despite having cashed in on Kyle Walker in a £50m sale to Manchester City.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino insists he is more focused on working to develop his squad rather than buying new players.
Inter want Karamoh to come to the San Siro and learn off Antonio Candreva and Ivan Perisic, Tuttosport claim.
Spalletti has already dismissed the possibility of Candreva leaving the club, while Manchester United remain interested in Perisic.
