Pio Esposito (20 years old), the striker of Inter, is wanted by Arsenal. “The Gunners” want a striker in the summer, but the position of Cristi Chivu's team is clear: the player is not for sale.
Esposito was promoted to Inter's first team by Cristi Chivu in the summer. The striker scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in Serie A in his first season in Italy's top flight.
He also attracted the attention of other big clubs in Europe, including Arsenal. Fabrizio Romano spoke about the Italian's situation.
Fabrizio Romano: “Arsenal are chasing Pio Esposito”
“Is Pio Esposito a target for Arsenal? The first thing to mention is that Arsenal will definitely make an attacking move next summer. Esposito is having a fantastic season and president Marotta has made it clear that the player is not for sale.
He also confirmed that Arsenal have not requested any information about him. This is the reality at the present time. Arsenal are following him, he is one of the greatest attacking talents of his generation, so it is only natural that they know Pio Esposito.
The club's sporting director, Edu, has a team that knows Serie A very well, so it's only natural that he monitors him. This is the situation at the moment.
Arsenal have not made any offer for Pio Esposito, there have been no contacts so far. Those there are just looking for more players to attack,” transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano explained on his YouTube account.
