Arsenal eye move for Serie A star as they look to bolster squad - Reports

Arsenal are reportedly looking to add more strength to their goalkeeping department. As per Football Transfers, they are eyeing a move for Italian shot-stopper Alex Meret. He joined Napoli back in 2019 and has been a mainstay between the sticks for them.

His contract with the Serie A giants expires next summer and Napoli are yet to agree on an extension with the 27-year-old. Arsenal meanwhile, are looking to sign a top-class backup for David Raya, who has been sensational for them.

However, it would be a tough task for Mikel Arteta's side to convince Meret as they are eyeing him as a second-choice keeper. Not only Arsenal but Tottenham Hotspur have also been linked with the Serie A star.
