Newcastle United target chooses Inter Milan after Simone Inzaghi transfer power play

German defender Robin Gosens was chased by Newcastle United during the January window but has ended up with a big move to Inter Milan.

The 27-year-old leaves Atlanta after five years with the entertaining Italian top-flight side but now faces important business with Inter.

Simone Inzaghi's side are closing in on the title in Serie A and left-back Gosens will be looking to get his fitness levels up to join in the action.

After Newcastle's interest, Gosens said it didn't take too long to make a decision once Inter swooped, he said: "It wasn’t a difficult decision for me.

"I didn’t need any convincing because I also know it’s a huge club.

"He told me about the club’s history, the team, the way you work here and I’m pleased to have spoken to him."

And once he spoke to Inzaghi, he said he was eager to put pen to paper.

He said: "Yes, we spoke on a video call last night. He told me what he expects of me and I told him a bit about my ideas.

"We’re very excited to work together and I can’t wait to get out on to the pitch with the team and the boss."
