Inter Milan have reportedly earmarked Genoa defender Brooke Norton-Cuffy as an ideal candidate to replace the injured Denzel Dumfries.

According to Sport Mediaset via FCInterNews, the Englishman has emerged as Inter’s top choice for three reasons.

Denzel Dumfries is at risk of missing a large part of the second half of the season due to an ankle injury.

With Luis Henrique underperforming since the beginning of the campaign, Inter must address this issue in the transfer market.

Brooke Norton-Cuffy is now the frontrunner to take Dumfries’ place on the right wing.

Indeed, the Arsenal academy graduate fits the club’s new transfer policy.

At 21, he has ample room for improvement and offers a potentially significant resale value.

Furthermore, the Englishman’s physical attributes are quite similar to Dumfries’, making him a natural fit for the role.

Finally, Norton-Cuffy’s versatility allows him to perform on both wings equally well.

Therefore, he has overtaken Idrissa Toure and Rafik Belghali on the Nerazzurri’s wishlist.
