Player stats

At the international level, Under has netted four goals in ten appearances.
Why should Arsenal sign?

Difficulties
Under’s contract is due till 2022 and the Seria A side is persistent in keeping the young talent.
The Gunners are having a fluctuating season so far. However, the draw against Tottenham followed by the huge win against Manchester United has put the North London side back in top four.
The only signing made by the Gunners during the January transfer window is Denis Suarez from Barcelona.
