Arsenal transfer revelation: Striker signing in doubt because of prior agreement
ARSENAL could miss out on transfer target Umar Sadiq this summer because of a prior agreement between two Italian clubs.
Umar Sadiq has scored twice for Roma this season
Website Football Italia claim Arsenal have made a £15.7million offer to sign Nigerian youngster Sadiq.
The Roma striker, on loan from Spezia, has scored twice in Serie A this season.
Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport reported last summer that Roma have a £1.9m (€2.5m) option to buy Sadiq at the end of his season-long loan spell.
The Rome club are said to be interested in triggering that deal and would likely do so if he is valued so highly by other clubs.
