Report: Inter Milan may join chase for Scott Sinclair

By Joe Fish, Reporter | 07 January 2015

Roberto Mancini's Inter Milan are believed to be considering a loan move for out-of-favour Man City winger Scott Sinclair, who is a prime target for Aston Villa.

Inter Milan are apparently considering challenging several English clubs for the loan signing of out-of-favour Manchester City winger Scott Sinclair.

The 25-year-old has started just two Premier League games since joining City from Swansea City in 2012 and spent last season with West Bromwich Albion.

A return to the West Midlands was believed to be on the cards when reports emerged claiming that Aston Villa were close to securing his services for the remainder of the campaign.

However, Queens Park Rangers are still sniffing around, and Roberto Mancini, who introduced the former Chelsea flyer to the Etihad Stadium, is also interested in bringing him to Inter, according to Sky Sports News.

The Italian giants are exploring a number of attacking options to try to improve on their 12th-place position in Serie A, with Chelsea's Mohamed Salah and Bayern Munich's Xherdan Shaqiri rumoured options.

Sinclair's four substitute appearances for the Citizens this season have totalled 25 minutes of playing time.
