Premier League giants Arsenal are keen on signing Italian frontman Mateo Retegui as per latest reports. The 25-year-old joined Atalanta BC from Genoa in August for a reported transfer price of €22 million (via Transfermarkt).
Retegui has been firing on all cylinders since joining La Dea, who are currently Serie A table-toppers with 40 points. The 25-year-old is the leading goalscorer in the league with 12 goals and three assists in 17 games. He also scored a brace in Atalanta BC's 6-1 thrashing of BSC Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League on November 26 at Wankdorf Stadium.
As per a report by Tribal Football, the Gunners are interested in signing Retegui this January to bolster their frontline. They were previously interested in Newcastle United's Alexander Isak and Sporting CP's Viktor Gyokeres but have now turned their attention towards the Italian. Arsenal's scouts were even present at the Wankdorf Stadium when Retegui scored the first-half brace (9', and 39') to seal the win for his side.
