Both Arsenal and Inter have reportedly scouted out Rodrigo Bentancur

The Gunners had sent scouts to watch 18-year-old Bentancur in action this month after he burst onto the Argentine football scene last season.

ESPN claim representatives from the Emirates Stadium watched Bentancur's performance in Boca's 3-1 win over Bolivar.

The Uruguayan is thought to be valued at £15million, with Boca unwilling to sell for anything less.

Bentancur was spotted a year ago and Inter are now ramping up their interest in the young star.

The report adds that Inter are waiting for him to recover from a knee injury before seeing him in action.
