There is no chance that reported Arsenal target Arkadiusz Milik stays at Napoli this summer, according to TuttoSport.

Arsenal are said to be interested in Milik, as Mikel Arteta eyes up a new number nine.

Arsenal are eager to bring in a centre forward, as they plan for life without Pierre Emerick Aubameyang.

The Gunners are desperate to keep Aubameyang, but there is a realisation around the club that he could depart now.

Arsenal’s top scorer has just a year remaining on his contract, meaning this summer could be Arteta’s last chance to receive a fee for the rapid forward.

Milik would be a different type of forward to Aubameyang if he was brought to Arsenal.

The Polish international doesn’t posses the same pace as Aubameyang, but he does link the play well and can prove a useful target man.

Napoli are said to want £45 million for Milik by Gazetta Italia, if they are to sell him this summer.
