Mauro Icardi being linked to Arsenal isn’t new, in fact, the rumour has been circulating for a while.
However, apparently it’s no longer down to the player to decide whether he’s heading to north London – it’s up to his wife, Wander Nara.
The striker is reportedly unhappy with his lack of playing time for Inter Milan and is looking to move to the Premier League, with Man City also interested, but the 22-year-old is apparently leaving it down to his beloved to choose which club he goes to.
Of course players’ families should have a say in where they go as they’re not the only ones having to move. However, the whole story seems to be a lot of fuss over nothing. It does insinuate that the talented goalscorer is looking for a move away from his Italian club but whether there’s any truth to this, I don’t know.
Icardi is clearly a decent prospect but whether we’re even interested is another issue.
