Arsenal Target Roma’s Destro

Arsenal have lined up Roma striker Mattia Destro as Lukas Podolski’s replacement, as the German international is set to depart for the Bundesliga due to his lack of playing time at the Emirates.

 

Chelsea are admirers of Italian youngster Destro, but after Loic Remy was brought in as one of three new strikers at the Bridge this summer, it is highly unlikely that Destro would get a sniff in the Blues team. It now seems more likely that the 23 year-old could be heading for the Gunners to fight it out with Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud for the starting berth.

 

Since arriving at the Stadio Olimpico, the forward has netted 22 goals in 49 appearances. But, under current boss Rudi Garcia, the former Genoa man has had to settle for playing time off the bench, playing second best to club stalwart Francesco Totti.

 

It has been reported that Arsene Wenger has a £20 million January transfer kitty, but most have been calling for defensive reinforcements. However, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if Destro was to be a January arrival at the Emirates.
