Arsenal Step Up Scouting of Inter Prospect Pio Esposito for Summer Move

No formal approach has been disclosed, with a long Inter contract likely to test any pursuit.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that sporting director Andrea Berta has requested detailed feedback from Arsenal’s Italy-based scouts on the 20-year-old forward.
  • Esposito is being evaluated as a potential backup signing with a view to long-term development rather than an immediate first-choice role.
  • Reports cite approximately five goals and five assists in about 31 appearances this season for Inter, with many of those outings coming from the bench.
  • Arsenal’s interest sharpened after an impactful Champions League cameo against them, with public praise from Gianluigi Buffon and coach Christian Chivu highlighting his potential.
  • With a contract at Inter reportedly running to 2030, any transfer is expected to be complex, and no bid or agreement has been reported.
