Nerazzurri announce Erkin deal

Internazionale manager Roberto Mancini has bolstered his defensive options for the new campaign with the capture of Caner Erkin from Fenerbahce.

The Turkey international will leave Sari Kanaryalar when his contract expires at the end of this month to bring an end to his six-year association with the club.

Erkin, who is set to feature for his country at Euro 2016, has agreed a three-year deal with the Nerazzurri and will officially complete the move on July 1.

The 27-year-old left-back won two Super Lig titles and the Turkish Cup twice during his stay at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, and will compete with Yuto Nagatomo for a place in Mancini's starting line-up.

A statement on the Milan club's official website read: "Caner Erkin is Inter's latest signing. The Turkish defender, out of contract at Fenerbahce, joins the Nerazzurri club on a three-year contract starting from 1 July 2016."
