Arsenal are reportedly keen on signing the Torino ace.
According to a report from Italian media outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Torino ace Armando Izzo’s agent Paolo Palermo is in London and could be set to meet Arsenal official’s in an effort to thrash out a deal for the 27-year-old centre-back.
Gunners boss Unai Emery will be desperate to bolster his defensive ranks at the Emirates this summer, after his side conceded 51 Premier League goals last term – the 12th worst tally in the entire division.
And Italian publication Tutto Mercato Web claims that Arsenal are eyeing Torino defender Armando Izzo as a potential summer signing.
The 27-year-old joined Torino from Genoa in the summer of 2018 for around €10 million (£9 million), according to Football Italia, and he has gone on to make 38 appearances in all competitions for the Turin-based club.
Izzo is a solid defender, but one concern for Arsenal fans will be the one-capped Italy international’s lack of height.
He stands at just 6ft tall, which is below average for a centre-back, and he might just struggle to cope with the physical demands of the Premier League.
And Arsenal fans will surely be expecting Emery to have more ambitious targets in mind this summer.
