Arsenal are considering a big money move for Inter Milan captain Mauro Icardi.
The Daily Star says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had a £29.3million offer for Alexandre Lacazette turned down last week and could yet go back for the £42m-rated Frenchman.
But if the Arsenal boss decides not to make another offer, as Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has hinted, then a move for Icardi would be next up.
Inter yesterday opened the door for a move for Icardi after their president Erick Thohir revealed he is willing to listen to offers for the forward, 23, if they match his £50m asking price.
The Indonesian businessman would like to keep Icardi, who has scored of 52 goals in all competitions, since signing from Sampdoria in 2013.
He said: “All of us and Inter are hoping that figure goes above 60million euros.
“Inter will be here for hundreds of years but it is made of individuals who change each year."
