Arsenal are interested in Napoli striker Andrea Petagna, according to reports.

The 25-year-old was signed by Napoli from SPAL in January but returned to the latter to finish off the season.

Standing at 6ft 2in, Calciomercato says Arsenal view Petagna as perfect for the Premier League.

It is also claimed that the Gunners have been watching the Italian since his days with Atalanta, where he played between 2016 and 2018.

Mikel Arteta is looking for depth in his attack and might need to find a replacement for Alexandre Lacazette, who has been linked with Juventus.

However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis is adamant on keeping Petagna to pair with fellow new signing Victor Osimhen.
