On Monday, a surprising story emerged claiming that Arsenal were interested in signing Djibril Sow from Eintracht Frankfurt.
This came at the same time as Lazio were in advanced talks to bring the midfielder to Rome, meaning this insertion from the Gunners was scuppering their plans.
Arsenal were reportedly trying to aggressively enter the negotiation, and Corriere dello Sport pick up on this on Tuesday.
They point out that emergence of interest from the Emirates side on Monday, and with Sevilla also on the case, there is growing competition for Lazio.
That’s why they need to get a move on to get a deal over the line, as any delay could see other clubs get ahead of them in the race.
Something to keep in mind, as Mikel Arteta tries to continue the reshaping of his squad after missing out on a real chance of winning the Premier League last season.
