Arsenal back in for Icardi

Gunners set to rekindle interest for ÂŁ32m striker

Arsenal are set to revisit their interest in Inter Milan striker Mario Icardi in January, according to reports.

Icardi was closely pursued by the Gunners in the summer but no deal ever managed to materialize.

And manager Arsene Wenger is expected to spend in January because of it. He had a ÂŁ32million bid rejected for Icardi, before switching his attentions to Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema.

The former Sampdoria frontman has been in hot water in Italy over his temperament on the field, with some likening him to Milan loanee Mario Balotelli – a comparison he rejects.

“I don’t identify with Balotelli,” he said. “I don’t know him at all.

“There are no similarities between us.”
