Lorenzo InsigneArsenal are interested in signing Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne, according to the player’s agent.

The Gunners find themselves on top of the Premier League table after 20 games and Arsene Wenger has stated that he will be ‘busy’ this month as the Frenchman looks to strengthen his squad in the second-half of the season.

It’s believed Wenger is keen to strengthen the squad’s midfield and are close to signing Basel’s Mohamed Elneny, but the Frenchman is also looking to add another forward to help out Oliveir Giroud and Theo Walcott, and Insigne is supposedly on his radar.

The diminutive 24-year-old Italian been in fine form for Napoli this season, racking up seven goals and five assists in 17 Serie A appearances so far.

And his agent, Antonio Ottaiano, says Arsenal, as well as Paris Saint-German, are keeping tabs on Insigne:

‘PSG and Arsenal are clubs at the top of the world and their interest is gratifying but right now Lorenzo is only thinking about Napoli.

‘A great season is also key to reaching his other aim for this year – securing a place for the Euros with Italy.’

However, Ottaiano suggests Wenger may have to look elsewhere for a forward this month as he can’t see his client leaving Napoli while they have a real shot of winning silverware with his hometown club.

‘Lorenzo’s dream is to win wearing a Napoli shirt and this year it looks like there are all the requirements to try and bring home something important.

‘I don’t see why Napoli wouldn’t continue to perform in the same way in the second half of the season.’
