The deal to bring Francesco Pio Esposito to Arsenal has reportedly broken down. The Inter forward had featured prominently in the club's plans, but sources are now speculating that no agreement was reached and both sides are expected to move on quickly to new targets. Whether talks will resume further down the line remains to be seen. The transfer has collapsed, but Francesco Pio Esposito could still emerge as a target for other linked sides such as Newcastle. Arsenal have been strong going forward this season, with 58 goals scored in 29 games (2.0 per game). Francesco Pio Esposito would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Alongside this, Inter are said to be exploring Leon Goretzka, Ibrahima Konate and Alejandro Balde Martinez with Arsenal likewise connected to Finn Jeltsch, Senny Mayulu and Jack Hinshelwood.
