Arsenal’s quest for new talent is continuing despite the international break and their scouting team have been as busy as ever this past few weeks.
A three week international break is almost at an end, much to the pleasure of domestic football fans.
However, Arsenal have not stopped doing their work and due diligence on potential new signings. In fact, the Gunners have been very busy, with the scouting team taking in a number of games over the break.
And according to reports, Arsenal have taken a keen interest in two players in the same fixture.

Arsenal watch both Arda Guler and Pio Esposito
The Gunners are always in the market for young talent and both Arda Guler and Pio Esposito are regarded as two of Europe’s best young players.
According to reports from Europe, Arsenal have sent scouts to watch both Esposito and Guler in action against each other when Turkey took on Italy recently. The Gunners see both players as good fits for the here and now and the future.
Nevertheless, things are not straightforward, especially when it comes to long-term target, Guler.

It’s stated that Real Madrid boss Jose Mourinho sees Guler as a key part of his current and future squads and with that in mind, the Madrid outfit are close to agreeing a new contract with the Turkish international.

As for Esposito, it remains to be seen if Inter Milan will even entertain the notion of selling. The 21-year-old is very much an emerging talent in Serie A and he’s already scored twice in five outings this season already.
Arsenal, then, will need to either pay big money or move on if they are to do a deal. Arsenal are also keen on Juventus star Kenan Yildiz, who could cost up to £100m if any deal is to be done.
