Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini is chasing Stoke City goalkeeper Asmir Begovic.

The Daily Star Sunday says Mancini is targeting Begovic - for the second time.

Mancini wanted the Bosnia international when he was in charge of City. And he is ready to try again to sign Begovic, 27, in an £8m deal.

Inter scouts have been assessing Begovic's current form. The highly rated keeper - also once a target for Manchester United - has 16 months remaining on his contract at the Britannia Stadium.
