Inter Milan manager Luciano Spalletti hit out at Arsenal

Speaking toRai Sportafter Inter’s defeat to Lazio, Spalletti said: Weve got to get Perisic back on track, but also Nainggolan, as he had injuries, setbacks and various issues. He needs time on the field and patience.As for Perisic, there was this story on the market, but he is a professional, understands his role and yesterday it was already a very different mood. These things happen in the transfer window, the player received an impressive proposal and was tempted. However, he then realised it was not a true offer, that hed been conned, and took a step back.Now hell resume training and as soon as his mind is back fully on Inter, well let him play.With Perisic remaining in Italy, Arsenal completed just a single January signing as Denis Suarez was brought to the Emirates from Barcelona on loan with the option to buy him outright at the end of the season.
