Francesco Pio Esposito is highly rated across Europe, and he is a target for Arsenal and Newcastle United as well. The Inter Milan striker has already registered 14 goal contributions this season, and he has the potential to develop into a top player with the right guidance.
According to a report by Italian outlet Inter Live, Manchester United would be willing to offer Joshua Zirkzee in a deal to sign the 20-year-old striker. The Netherlands international has not been able to live up to the expectations since moving to Old Trafford.
Zirkzee has struggled to score goals and hold down a regular starting spot at the club. The Dutchman needs to leave the club to play more often, and recent reports have claimed that he is ready to call it quits at Old Trafford.
Returning to Italy could be ideal for Zirkzee. It will be interesting to see if Inter Milan are willing to accept him as a part of the deal for Esposito. The talented young striker is highly rated in Italy, and he has a bright future.
So, it is hardly surprising that Inter Milan do not want to lose a tremendous talent like him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Meanwhile, Zirkzee played his best football in Italy with Bologna, and returning to his comfort zone could be ideal.
However, convincing Inter Milan to accept the deal will be difficult. The Nerazzurri are looking to build a formidable team for the future, and they will not want to lose the 20-year-old striker for someone who has not been at his best in recent months.
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and it is no surprise that they are keen on signing the Italian striker. He would be a quality long-term investment for them if they manage to get the deal done.
Similarly, Arsenal need more depth in their attacking unit. They signed Viktor Gyokeres at the start of the season, but the Swedish international has not been prolific enough. They need more competition for places, and signing the 20-year-old could be ideal. He could also be the ideal long-term replacement for Gabriel Jesus, who is expected to leave the club.
