Arsenal told Francesco Pio Esposito is not for sale this summer
In recent days, Premier League leaders Arsenal have been linked with interest in Inter Milan defender Alessandro Bastoni, but he's not the only Nerazzurri star catching their eye.
According to new reports, Gunners boss Mikel Arteta is said to admire young forward Francesco Pio Esposito, particularly during the Champions League clash between the two sides.
However, it's also claimed that Inter have no intention of selling the imposing Italy international, who stands at 6 foot 3 in stature.
Esposito has broken through at the San Siro this season following an impressive loan stint at Serie B side Spezia, so it's no surprise to learn that he is unlikely to leave this summer despite mooted interest.
Barcelona join race to sign Spurs defender Micky van de Ven
The uncertainty around Tottenham Hotspur and their immediate future in England's top-flight isn't getting any easier.
As well as poor performances on the pitch, some of their biggest stars are being linked with exits ahead of what will be an interesting summer transfer window. One of whom is Micky van de Ven.
Now, per reports in Spain, Barcelona are preparing to intensify their efforts to sign the Netherlands international, who is expected to cost at least £60 million, depending on Spurs' situation.
It's thought that the LaLiga giants are leading the race, despite interest from Liverpool, and they view him as a perfect signing for their backline next season.
Aston Villa eye Harry Wilson free-agent swoop
Meanwhile, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Aston Villa are among the clubs leading the charge to sign Fulham midfielder Harry Wilson.
The 28-year-old, who came through the system at Anfield, has been at Craven Cottage since 2022 but now seems destined to leave in the summer as a free agent.
He claims that “initial talks” over a move to Villa Park have already taken place, but the race is still somewhat open, given he is out of contract.
Only Erling Haaland and Bruno Fernandes (16) have contributed to more goals than Wilson (12) this season, making him one of the hottest free agents on the market.
