The Spanish winger looks set to snub Tottenham Hotspur this summer, but might Arsenal fare better?
According to Sky Italia, AC Milan winger Suso does not want to join Tottenham Hotspur.
The North London outfit have been heavily linked with a move for the 23-year-old this summer.
The International Business Times reported previously that the ex-Liverpool man was indeed keen to join Tottenham, while Gianluca Di Marzio recently claimed that Spurs had made an enquiry about the attacker to Milan.
That being said, it has been reported by Sky Italia now that the speculation linking him to the Lilywhites is having little effect on Suso, who wants to stay at San Siro, but could Arsenal test his resolve?
Of course, Spurs have Champions League football and Arsenal do not, but that isn’t the ultimate carrot when it comes to recruitment.
The Gunners are in the market for a winger amid speculation linking them to Thomas Lemar and Riyad Mahrez – the latter of whom is also wanted by Roma, according to The Mail – and Arsene Wenger should try for Suso if he misses out on the Algerian.
He scored seven goals and set up nine in Serie A last season. Sure, they aren’t outstanding statistics, but Wenger is a fine man-manager and perhaps the Spaniard could flourish under the tutelage of the Arsenal boss. He wouldn’t be the first.
The veteran Frenchman is renowned for getting the very best out of his players, and Suso – who would also earn more money at the Emirates than he would at Tottenham – might well fancy that prospect.
