Arsenal have been frustrated in their hunt for talent in the past year. Specifically, their pursuit of transfer targets in Serie A has ended in disappointment.
Arsenal wanted to sign both Manuel Locatelli and Dusan Vlahovic in back-to-back windows but were beaten to them by Juventus on both occasions. The Locatelli deal was especially frustrating considering the deal that the Biaconneri ended up securing for the midfielder.
It was confirmed that Arsenal had made a sizeable bid during the window but that the player had his heart set on remaining in Italy. The agent of Juve youngster Nicolo Fagioli, Andrea D’Amico, confirmed the bid.
