Inter Milan chief
executive Beppe Marotta has confirmed his club's interest in Victor Moses as
one of three potential January incomings from the Premier League.
Marotta says Inter's
interest in Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen and Chelsea striker Olivier
Giroud remains but both deals could be affected by other matters.

The Nigeria
international was loaned out to Fenerbahce by former Chelsea boss Maurizio
Sarri last January but has only played six times this season because of a
recurring thigh injury.
When asked about Inter's
interest in the 29-year-old, Marotta said: "Moses? He is definitely a
candidate."
Inter's recruitment this
month has been focused around two other Premier League players in Eriksen and
Giroud, whose representatives the club has been in dialogue with.
Christian Eriksen's future remains unresolved

Tottenham Transfers
Jose Mourinho said on Saturday that he would like Eriksen's future decided as soon as possible but Marotta is concerned his side might not be the only club interested in the Denmark international.
He said: "Eriksen
is a Tottenham player whose contract expires in June. The fact of having been
to dinner with his agent is legitimate, authorised by current rules and
therefore not limited.
"From here to say
if he will arrive in January or June, there is competition and we don't know
what is going to happen."

Conte is also keen on a
reunion with Giroud, who he signed for Chelsea in January 2018 and who is also
out of contract in the summer.
Sky in Italy reported
last week that Giroud had already agreed a two-and-a-half-year deal with Inter
and the clubs were not far apart in their valuation.
But Marotta hinted that
the deal could be complicated by the failure of a deal which would have seen
Matteo Politano leave Inter in a swap deal involving Roma's Leonardo
Spinazzola.
Marotta added: "I
do not deny that we spoke with Giroud's entourage and now we will make the
right assessment. The two operations - this one and that of Politano - could be
linked but what does not happen today in the market can happen tomorrow."
