Arsenal Newsnow: Arsenal is reportedly interested in acquiring Hirving Lozano, who may leave Napoli after the season, according to La Repubblica. For the last four seasons, the 27-year-old has been an integral part of the Serie A club’s success. In 20 games this season, he has contributed to seven goals and four assists. Nonetheless, he has failed to sign a new deal. La Repubblica suggests he may depart the club this summer. Arsenal, according to the source, is considering a bid for the Mexican star. Newcastle is also keeping tabs on the player.
Mykhaylo Mudryk, a standout for Shakhtar Donetsk, is a top target for Arsenal right now. Shakhtar has received two huge offers for the Ukrainian superstar. But they have no intention of selling him this month until they get their entire asking price of £88 million.

As he is now valued at £25 million on Transfermarkt, he would be a bargain for Arsenal. Napoli is now attempting to win the Scudetto after a 32-year drought. Thus making it doubtful that they would entertain offers for the forward this month.
Arsenal Newsnow: Will Hirving Lozano sign for Arsenal?
Because of this, Arsenal will have to wait until the summer to sign Lozano from Napoli. He would provide them with great depth and competition on the flank. But with Newcastle also in the running for his services, a move may be difficult to achieve.
The club’s ownership has recently changed to a rich Saudi Arabian group. As of right now, the team is doing better than expected, as seen by their present place in the Premier League standings (third).
