Arsenal are making £76m transfer mistake as Mikel Arteta targets the wrong Napoli player

Arsenal’s chase for a striker this summer is one of the most important transfer moves in the club’s history. Mikel Arteta is looking to build a side with young players and world-class talent to take the Gunners back to the top.

The strikers that would elevate the club to the next level will be particularly tricky to acquire without the elite European tournament.
