Inter have revealed that Edgar Davids and Francesco Coco could both be playing in the Premiership next season.

The two men don’t feature in the plans of boss Roberto Mancini and a summer exit is highly likely.

"There is no chance right now that their contracts will be rescinded," stated Inter transfer chief Marco Branca.

"They need to play football regularly and now have to find a club who can offer them that possibility. They have many admirers in England."

Davids is looking to end his Nerazzurri nightmare after a disastrous 12-month stay at the San Siro.

He arrived last summer from Barcelona, on a free transfer, but didn’t feature regularly in Mancio’s thoughts last term.

Davids, a central midfielder, has been strongly associated with West Ham, Middlesbrough and Tottenham.

Inter have tried to get rid of Davids by offering him to Real Madrid in a swap deal with Luis Figo.

The Spaniards declined that offer, even if the Portuguese winger is still expected to arrive in Milan before the start of the season.

As for Coco, the former Italian international left-back has been paired with Bolton and Everton.
