Calhanoglu has been a star player for Inter this season scoring eight goals and two assists in 18 appearances in all competitions this season.

The 29-year-old has been in excellent form for Inter this season, and he has been praised by Turkish national team coach Vincenzo Montella.

Montella was recently quoted as saying: “To me, he [Calhanoglu] surely is the best midfielder in Italy currently and perhaps the best in the world.”

Calhanoglu is under contract with Inter until 2027 but it is possible that he could be tempted to move to the Premier League if he is offered a significant salary.

A January move would however, be unlikely as Inter are currently in first in the Serie A title race and have booked a place in the next round of the Champions League.

Calhanoglu plays a key role in the Inter team and a winter exit would be a major loss for the Italian giants.
