Arsenal are looking at Dries Mertens on a free transfer this summer, according to Di Marzio journalist Francesco Porzio.

Napoli and AS Roma want to sign Arsenal left-back Sead Kolasinac, in January and the summer respectively, according to reports.

Arsenal are reportedly asking €35m for Lucas Torreira while Napoli are willing to offer €30m according to a report in Italy.

Arsenal are following Dries Mertens of Napoli, whose contract expires this summer, according to reports in Italy.

Napoli have reportedly made Arsenal an offer to take Lucas Torreira on loan for 18 months with a €27m option to buy but will they really let him go as well?

Napoli’s sporting director contacted Arsenal on Monday to submit an offer for Lucas Torreira, according to reports in Italy.

Lucas Torreira is apparently open to joining Napoli in January when the Italians are expected to improve their squad under new manager, Gennaro Gattuso.

Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with Carlo Ancelotti and could even make an announcement as early as this afternoon in what seems like a bit of a mad update.

Lucas Torreira is a wanted man and there are a number of top clubs willing to pounce on his unhappiness playing out of position under Unai Emery, but will Freddie make him any happier?

Napoli’s president reportedly had dinner with Massimiliano Allegri and came away from the meeting convinced the manager wants to work abroad for his next assignment.

Lucas Torreira’s agent admits the player is unhappy with the role he’s playing in the Arsenal team at the moment, but he believes the club want to keep him.

Napoli boss Carlo Ancelotti has said they are not interested in a move for Kieran Tierney, giving Arsenal a boost and asking questions about the coverage of the Italians interest this summer. 

Napoli are expected to sell fullback, Mario Rui, in order to gazump Arsenal’s £15m bid for Kieran Tierney that has already been rejected by Celtic.

James Rodriguez is expected to team up with his brother-in-law David Ospina at Napoli.

Arsenal, not Napoli, are leading the race for Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, according to reports in Italy.

Arsenal are falling behind in the race for Kieran Tierney, according to the BBC’s David Ornstein.

David Ospina will complete his permanent move to Napoli after the Copa America and he is helping talk James Rodriguez, his brother-in-law, into joining the Italians with him.

Not long after it was reported that Arsenal had made an approach for Jordan Veretout it was claimed that he is on his way to Napoli.

Arsenal have somehow managed to convince Napoli to pay up to €4.8m for David Ospina despite the Italians wanting to drive his price down as much as possible.

Arsenal and Napoli have finally found agreement over the transfer of David Ospina with the Italians paying the amount stipulated in his loan agreement despite trying to pay a lot less.
