Guangzhou Evergrande defender Linpeng Zhang is being linked with Inter Milan.

Sportmediaset says the fullback is highly admired by former Italy coach Marcello Lippi and is on the radar of Inter.

Inter are now scouting the right-back as they consider the China international for the summer market.

Nerazzurri chief Michael Bolingbroke has spoken of wanting to strengthen their profile across Asia and adding Zhang would boost their efforts.
