Arsenal scouts are in Italy tonight for the game between Roma and Inter Milan as they eye up the transfer of Cengiz Under.
The 21-year-old looks a seriously impressive young talent and could be a useful signing for Arsenal right now to improve their attacking midfield options.

With Danny Welbeck’s injury a bad one and Alex Iwobi lacking consistency and end product, Under could be a hugely useful option for Unai Emery in the second half of the season.
Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira has tweeted about Arsenal’s interest, stating a scout will watch him play tonight and adding that Roma chief Monchi would be ready to sell the Turkey international for around €50million.
That shouldn’t be out of Arsenal’s price range, and could set them up for years to come if Under ends up fulfilling his obvious potential.
Absolute stunner from Under! ??@elevensports_uk
