Inter are to rival Premier League club Chelsea for the signature of Benjamin Henrichs according to a report from British tabloid the Sun and Italian transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla.

The 21-year-old is a summer transfer target for each side and it could take as much as €35 million to convince Bayer Leverkusen in to parting ways with the highly rated defender. A natural right back, he can also play on the opposite side and even centrally if so required.

This is not the first time Inter have come in to links with the German national with reports circulating in February and March of last year suggesting that the Nerazzurri were keen on adding him to their ranks.

Henrichs, who is under contract with the BayArena side through to the end of the 2021/2022 season, has made no less than 27 appearances across all competitions this term for Die Werkself, helping them toward a third placed finish.
