Arsenal have emerged as one of the strong favorites to sign Atalanta's shotstopper Marco Carnesecchi next summer, according to reports via Corriere dello Sport. The Italian goalkeeper has been in tremendous form this season and is believed to have caught the eyes of the Gunners.
Carnesecchi is regarded as one of Europe's promising shot-stoppers due to his impressive performances for Atalanta. The 24-year-old kept 10 clean sheets for La Dea last season, conceding 34 goals in 32 league games. He has also started on a very good note this campaign, which sees Atalanta at the top of the Serie A standings with 40 points after 17 games. He's kept nine clean sheets in 22 games across competitions.
Carnesecchi's performances haven't gone unnoticed as he is said to be attracting interest from some top European teams, with Arsenal among the top contenders.
