Napoli are keen on both Arsenal forwards Pierre Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, according to Calcio Napoli 24.

There are concerns over both Aubameyang’s and Lacazette’s futures at Arsenal, as the duo’s contracts expire at the end of the season.

Arsenal may have to cash in on the attackers this season, otherwise they risk losing the pair on a free transfer.

However, there must be some doubts over whether Napoli would be able to finance a double swoop for both of them.

Arsenal are likely to want sizeable fees for both Aubameyang and Lacazette, as they are proven strikers in the peak of their careers.

Replacing them both in the same summer would be a huge challenge for Mikel Arteta, especially as he is only expected to have a limited budget to work with.

Losing Aubameyang would be an especially big blow for Arsenal, as the rapid forward has hit 17 goals in 26 Premier League matches this season.
