Inter Milan have revived their bid to sign Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun.
This comes after they missed out on West Ham's Gianluca Scamacca and Romelu Lukaku of Chelsea.
Inter had been looking to offer around £26million for Balogun who is valued at around £45million by Arsenal.
The forward had an impressive break-out season with Stade de Reims in Ligue 1 last season and is edging closer to an exit at the Emirates.
However, Arsenal's valuation could prove to be a sticking point this summer as Inter are yet to agree on a fee for the forward.
With an injury to Arsenal forward Gabriel Jesus, a position in the Gunners' attack has opened up ahead of the new season.
It remains to be seen as to whether Mikel Arteta will trust Balogun to start the season in this role, or whether the likes of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli or Eddie Nketiah will play through the middle.
Inter Milan have missed out on Lukaku, who is pushing for a move to Juventus this summer.
Scamacca is set to return to Italy, although he will be joining Inter's Serie A rivals Atalanta following the departure of Rasmus Hojlund.
If the Italians are to sign Balogun this summer, they must return with an improved offer for the Arsenal youngster.

arsenal will never pay 45mil for balogun if they were inter how much did they pay for grabiel who was a star as city ...inter Milan should not bid more than 35mil for balogun and arsenal should accept as he may still leave on loan again next season if not sold and price might downgrade or they can keep in the front line for grabiel who is injured

Man utd paid £72 million pounds for a player that scored far less goals as Balogun. If Inter can't pay anything close to that I think Arteta should keep him
you paid 65mil for Havertz and he is flopping and you also paid 80mil for Pepe don't compare players past wait until they play for 2 season before talking balogun should not exceed 35mil

They had their chances of signing him but it's now time over. Balogun is staying in Arsenal this season.

if Inter wants to buy Balogun,let them pay his valuation and stop playing!! Arsenal is not going to allow him leave for cheap,so either pay up or get out
