Armando Izzo is yet to make his debut for Italy |
ARSENAL are reportedly chasing Italian defender Armando Izzo.
The 23-year-old has spent most of his career in the lower leagues in Italy but has impressed since moving to Genoa in 2014.
According to Italian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, the Gunners sent a scout to watch Izzo play against Napoli earlier this month.
But Arsene Wenger may face competition from Portugal with Benfica also said to be interested.
Arsenal do have a strong defensive record in the Premier League this season.
They have the joint second-best record having conceded just nine goals.
While Petr Cech has six clean sheets in his first 12 league matches, since joining from Chelsea in the summer.
