Arsenal and Inter Milan are reportedly ready to do battle over 18-year-old Galatasaray defender Ozan Kabak.

Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Galatasaray defender Ozan Kabak ahead of a possible January move for the youngster.

Kabak has enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with the Turkish outfit this season, establishing himself as a regular in the first team despite having played just one minute of senior football prior to the start of the campaign.

The 18-year-old's form is understood to have attracted interest from elsewhere in Europe, and Turkish newspaper Sabah claims that Arsenal are among the clubs looking at a potential deal.

However, the Gunners could face competition from Serie A side Inter Milan, who are also monitoring Kabak's progress.

Previous reports in Italy have suggested that Kabak has a €7.5m (£6.7m) release clause, although this report claims that there is nothing official to that effect in the teenager's contract.

Galatasaray are nonetheless eager to tie the Turkey Under-18 international down to a new deal and have offered him a five-year contract extension.
