Reports have emerged in the last hour via Sky Sport, that Las Palmas have proposed a loan move to Inter for striker Gabriel Barbosa (Gabigol).
 

The Canary Islanders are thought to want the 20-year-old on a short-term loan until the end of the current campaign and see the Brazilian as a perfect foil for ex Milan play-maker Kevin Prince Boateng. Gabigol’s agent has been very vocal in recent days suggesting that his client’s lack of playing time at the San Siro has made a January switch highly likely.
 

Gabigol arrived from Santos in the summer to huge acclaim but has failed to break into the starting XI under previous coach Frank de Boer or current boss Stefano Pioli. Despite the player recently declaring that he had no intention of going out on a short-term deal, his current predicament would seem to leave him no option. Inter will now assess this new proposal from La Liga as January draws ever nearer.
