Wendell on Inter Milan radar

Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport claims that Inter Milan are keeping close tabs on Bayer Leverkusen full-back Wendell.

The Nerazzurri plan to recruit a new left-sided defender in the summer transfer window and they have a couple of players on their hit-list.

While Wolfsburg star Ricardo Rodriguez is their number one target, Inter Milan officials are also looking at Bayer Leverkusen defender Wendell.

The 23-year-old nailed down a regular starting berth at Bay Arena quickly after joining from Gremio, and he has been one of just several bright spots in an otherwise disappointing campaign for die Werkself.

After making 73 Bundesliga appearances for Bayer Leverkusen, the summer transfer window may be a good time for a change of scenery.

His suitors Inter Milan will be hoping to get back to winning ways when they face Empoli on Sunday afternoon, and the Nerazzurri have been made 4/11 favourites to claim maximum points.
