Inter Milan set to rival Chelsea for defence ace

Inter Milan could be set to emerge as Chelsea’s main rivals for the signature of Everton defender Lucas Digne, according to transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla.

The Blues have recently been credited with an interest in Digne as they go in search of a new left-back to provide cover for England ace Ben Chilwell, who is currently sidelined with a long-term injury.

However, they are likely to face stiff competition from Inter, with the Italian giants said to be conducting their own search for a top-class operator to strengthen their ranks at the back.

Everton are reportedly willing to negotiate a half-season loan deal for Digne with either club, suggesting that he could be forced out of the exit door over the coming weeks.
