‘We take into account the praising reports that Wenger has given about the player.
‘We are honoured that a club like Arsenal could have Lorenzo on their wish list.
‘However, from here to take it to the next level, that is a possible transfer, there is a huge mountain in between named Napoli.
‘The club consider him without a shadow of a doubt as one of their cardinal players for their ambitious project.
‘Hence, as of today, I don’t see that there can be any further developments unless Arsenal speak to Napoli directly and Napoli change their view on Lorenzo’s role here.’
These are the recent words of Lorenzo Insigne’s agent Antonio Ottaiano after the creative forward was linked with a summer move to Arsenal.
Arsene Wenger is thought to be a keen admirer of Insigne and is reportedly preparing a £17 million move for the diminutive Italian.
But would a summer move for Insigne be a deal worth acquiring?
Would he be seen as a marquee signing by the Arsenal faithful and fit in at the Emirates set-up?
In a word, yes. He would be a fantastic signing should we manage to pull it off as he is undoubtedly one of Europe’s brightest talents.
Although Insigne operates as a left winger, the Italian can also play on the right and as an emergency striker or in the hole. His versatility would be invaluable to our side and due to his superb technical ability, creativity and pace; the 23-year-old would unquestionably suit our style of play and settle quickly. He also known for his set-pieces and we could well do with someone like this in our squad.
do we really want another little guy???
How about buying some big forward players like Di Maria and Lukaku?
The guys 5″4. No thanks. Only top top quality players can handle the prem when they’re that size.
Sorry Tony. I’m a little in the dark here. Can you please tell me what experience and credentials you have to think that you know better than Mr Wenger. Or are you just another bloke who thinks that because you write a blog that makes you some sort of authority on football perhaps?
Well all this is speculation methinks. When Wenger will sign it will be:
1- someone most of us never heard of or
2- someone we will all go WOW. A la Ozil or
3- ‘I cant believe he just that’ remember Battista?
TT is correct. At 5 ft 4 he would be easily brushed aside .
Wenger used to buy monsters.Get guys of Veira size.
