The £4m rated midfielder has fell down the perking order at the San Siro and is set to re-unite with boss Harry Redknapp who brought was first to bring the Ghana international to England while at Portsmouth.

Muntari, 26, joined Inter in the summer of 2007 in a deal worth £12.7m after spending just one season with Pompey - during which time he helped the now championship side to victory in the FA Cup.
