Inter Milan are pondering over making a move for Chelsea and West Ham linked defender Antonio Rudiger.

The Nerazzurri are looking to bolster their squad with a flurry of new names this summer and adding meat to their defence is one of their main concerns.











They are surveying a number of names on their shortlist of targets and one of the young defenders who feature prominently on that list is VfB Stuttgart defender Rudiger.

The 22-year-old Germany international missed large chunks of the season due to injuries but still managed to do enough on the pitch to attract the attention of clubs such as Chelsea and West Ham.





Though he still has more than two years left on his contract with Stuttgart, the defender is known to be ready to make a move this summer and is seeking greener pastures.

While Chelsea and the Hammers are still said to be interested, according to Sky Italia, Rudiger has appeared on Inter’s radar and the club are exploring options to take the German to the San Siro before the start of the new season.

The 22-year-old has already broken into the Germany national team and has earned six international caps for his country.
