The aforementioned factors suggest Arsenal will have to weigh their next moves carefully, but it is believed that hasn’t stopped them attempting a deal for Everton star Onana.

The 30-year-old, who won a Serie A title at Juventus in 2019, was also a member of Italy’s Euro 2020 winning squad. Match of the Day pundit and Newcastle legend Alan Shearer is a real admirer of Spinazzola, heaping praise on the left-back’s contribution under Roberto Mancini at international level.

According to La Roma 24.it, both Arsenal and Aston Villa are interested in signing Spinazzola, coming after the player’s agent revealed that he will almost certainly leave when his contract expires in the summer.
Roma may want to sell before he leaves on a free deal, which could give Arsenal an advantage in negotiations.

The versatile defender has made 14 Serie A appearances under Jose Mourinho this season, ranking as one of their best-performing players by average match rating according to WhoScored.
Fiorentina defender Fabiano Parisi has heaped praise on Spinazzola in recent years, calling him a “quick” full-back with plenty to offer.
“I’ve always admired him: he’s quick, with great technical ability, can play on both wings,” said Parisi to La Gazzetta (via One Football).
