Inter Milan is looking to acquire Tottenham left-back Gareth Bale and Liverpool right-back Glen Johnson, according to an article posted by IMScouting. See the full article here.

Bale is just 20 years old and is one of the hottest prospects in British football and has turned in some impressive performances for Tottenham in the past few years. He is an experienced defender despite his young age as he made both his Southampton and Welsh debut at the early age of 16. He started 18 Premier League games last year and scored 3 goals while adding 5 assists. Bale is also being pursued by Serie A competitors AC Milan and Juventus.

The 25 year old Johnson struggled in England's poor performance in the World Cup but had an excellent season for Liverpool in the Premier League.

With current right-back Maicon's future in San Siro up in the air, the acquisition of Bale and Johnson may become even more pressing.
