Arsenal targets Inter's young talent Francesco Pio Esposito
London's Arsenal is ramping up efforts to bolster their attacking line ahead of the summer transfer window.
Details: According to insider Steve Kay, Arsenal's primary target is the highly-rated young Inter Milan forward Francesco Pio Esposito.
Mikel Arteta is determined to sign a top young striker who can challenge for a starting spot and grow alongside the project. Arteta believes the 20-year-old Italian perfectly fits the profile the London club's coaching staff is looking for.
Esposito is regarded as one of Italy's most promising prospects. Reports suggest his physical attributes, link-up play, and clinical finishing have caught the eye of Arsenal scouts, who have been tracking him for quite some time.
This season, the Italian forward has already made 31 appearances for the Milan side across all competitions, scoring 5 goals and providing 6 assists. Transfermarkt values him at €35 million.
Reminder: Real rejected bids from Arsenal and Chelsea for Endrick. The Madrid club wants to keep the Brazilian in their squad.
