Romano denies Martinelli move to Napoli, Arsenal left‑wing unchanged

Romano also noted that Arsenal’s left side currently features two players, Martinelli and Tzolis, meaning any potential departure would likely be replaced by another Arsenal signing. Gabriel Jesus is mentioned as another Arsenal striker who could be on Napoli’s radar.

However, Napoli would first need to resolve a pending sale involving Lang and Lucca to free up resources for a new attacker in these final weeks of the market. The journalist stressed that Martinelli is not a hot track for the club at the moment.
