Arsenal are reportedly interested in a deal to sign Dries Mertens from Napoli, according to a report in Italy.

The Belgian star is all set to leave Napoli at the end of the current season, with his contract due to expire at the end of June. 

Considering he has scored 121 goals in 309 appearances since moving to Italy in 2013, the diminutive frontman will be a much-coveted commodity in the summer. 

Arsenal, according to Il Mattino, are keeping tabs on the situation, along with Atletico Madrid.
