Marcelo Brozovic snubs Arsenal interest and joins Inter Milan on two-year loan deal
Midfielder Marcelo Brozovic has joined Inter Milan from Croatian champions Dinamo Zagreb on a two-year loan deal with the option of making the move permanent.
The 22-year old, who has scored one goal in seven international appearances, was part of Croatia's 2014 World Cup squad and joins his compatriot Mateo Kovacic at Inter.

Arsenal had been in talks with Zagreb since October but they were unable to agree a fee after having a £6million bid rejected.
Brozovic won two league titles with Dinamo after his move from city rivals Lokomotiva in 2012 and is a versatile central midfielder able to fill in several roles in the engine room.
'I am delighted to have joined a big club playing in a competitive league with lots of challenges lying ahead,' he told Dinamo's official website.
'I will miss the many friends I have made at Dinamo but on the other hand, I am really looking forward to life in Italy.'
