Arsenal considering move for red hot Serie A striker with tempting clause as Havertz upgrade plan ramps up

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for in-form Fiorentina striker Moise Kean but could face competition from two Premier League rivals for his signature.

Mikel Arteta has made signing a new striker a priority for the summer transfer window and work is already well underway for the Gunners who are busy identifying targets.

The report claims that Kean also has admirers in Tottenham and Aston Villa, with the player ‘tempted’ by the chance to test himself in the Premier League again.

The Italian international joined Everton for around £25m in 2019 but ultimately spent just one unsuccessful season at Goodison Park. He was memorably substituted after just 19 minutes on the pitch by interim manager Duncan Ferguson, and after that Kean’s Everton career seemed destined to be over.

After a loan with Paris Saint-Germain and a return to former club Juventus, Kean joined Fiorentina permanently last summer, for a bargain fee of £11m.

The 24-year-old seems to have finally found his feet in Florence and has bagged an impressive 19 goals in 29 appearances across all competitions this season – so it’s no surprise to see Arsenal keeping tabs on his situation.

We have consistently reported that Arsenal are expected to bring in a new front man this summer, as Arteta wants more competition for Kai Havertz.

The German international is sidelined with a hamstring injury until the end of the season, so the Gunners may end up regretting not signing a new striker in January.
