This summer, mentioned that Arsenal were still keen on potentially signing Lindstrom.

However, the Gunners seemingly didn’t follow up on their initial interest in the Eintracht Frankfurt ace.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Arsenal have missed out on Lindstrom to Napoli.

The transfer insider took to to declare “here we go” on the player’s move to the Serie A champions.

Lindstrom is reportedly joining for around £21.5million and penning a five-year deal in the south of Italy.

Our view

Lindstrom would’ve been a good shout for Arsenal. He’s young, talented, pacey, and relatively inexpensive.

The official Bundesliga  previously compared the ‘outstanding’ talent to Germany international Julian Draxler.

Lindstrom has described his game as follows: “In general I like to play up front but can also play on the wings.

“I’ve got a strong shot on me from distance and I like to link up play in the penalty area.”

There have also been  to Jack Grealish, and he has even been  a ‘Thomas Muller regen’.

Nevertheless, it doesn’t look like Arsenal made their interest concrete. As such, he’s now joining the Gunners’ Champions League rivals.
