Inter Milan want to sign Marcos Alonso as replacement for injury-prone Kwadwo Asamoah

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte wants to sign Marcos Alonso as a replacement for injury-prone Kwadwo Asamoah.

Turin newspaper Tuttosport is reporting the Italian boss wants to reunite with the Spanish international to the San Siro during the January transfer window.

Conte is reportedly growing frustrated with Kwadwo Asamoah's consistent injury worries and has now turned his attention to plan B of replacing him with the Chelsea wing back.

Asamoah, 31, is currently having a problem with the cartilage in one of his knees and has missed several of Inter’s recent matches as a result.

The Ghana international has featured just two times for Inter since October 20, featuring 81 minutes against Brescia and 18 against Roma.

Due to this, Inter are looking toward the transfer market for a fix and Conte’s desired addition is the 28-year-old Spaniard, who is currently at Chelsea.

Alonso has fallen down the pecking order at the Premier League club this season and that had led to increased speculation that a January move elsewhere could be on the cards for him.
