Arsene Wenger is keen to strengthen his
Gunners attack and will fight Tottenham for
the 23 year old Italian international, who's
goals have helped cement Rudi Garcia's
push for a second place finish in Serie A
behind runaway leaders Juventus.
Destro is into his second season at the
Stadio Olimpico and has hit a fine run of form
of late, scoring seven goals in his last six
Serie A appearances.
One would imagine Garcia would fight to
keep hold of the former Siena forward though
interest from the Gunners may tempt Destro
to consider a move to the English top tier.
Wenger is keen to bring in further striking
options to offer overworked Frenchman
Olivier Giroud some much needed support
and a move for the Roma forward could be a
sensible inexpensive option to consider.
Arsenal may well look to draw upon the
relationship they have with the Italian capital
club, who they did business with last
summer as they sold attacker Gervinho to the
Giallorossi.
