Inter To Sign Eboué For Free?

With his contract running out at the end of the season, Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboué may follow in the footsteps of Mathieu Flamini and move to Italy on a free transfer.

EPL: Emmanuel Eboue, Bolton Wanderers v Arsenal (PA)

Around a year ago, Milan managed to sign an important young player like Mathieu Flamini from Arsenal on a free transfer, as the Frenchman's contract ran out last summer. This was considered a major coup, and Gunners coach Arsene Wenger was obviously displeased.

This scenario could repeat itself soon, as according to IlReca.it, another Gunner could be heading to Milan in the near future, but this time to Inter. The player in question is 25-year-old wing back Emmanuel Eboué, whose contract is also expiring next summer, and who is rumoured to be on the lookout for a new club.

Inter have no real replacement for Brazilian ace Maicon in the right back role, and that is why they are keen on bringing in the Ivorian international.

Estudiantes defender Marcos Angeleri has also been linked to a January move to the Italian champions, but the Arsenal man may be seen as a more appealing signing due to his versatility, and because he has a EU passport thanks to his part-Belgian nationality.
