The talented young Italian forward has been on the radar of both Arsenal and Man Utd for some time, but it now looks highly likely that he’ll be staying at Inter. We’ve previously reported on Esposito being the subject of Arsenal and United interest, though the message at that time was also that he was likely to stay at the San Siro. Pio Esposito one of a number of Arsenal transfer targetsThere is big appreciation at Arsenal for Esposito’s talent and potential, and it’s perhaps not too surprising that they tried for him again, even if it never looked particularly likely for them. For now, there is anticipated movement soon from Arsenal on an alternative to Vini Jr, with the usual names coming up again.
