Wenger to make Morata number one target this summer

Arsenal have Juventus centre forward Alvaro Morata their number one target this summer according to the Mirror Online, as Arsene Wenger bids to go all out in what could be his final season at the club.

The 23-year-old has been hugely impressive since making the move to the Italian giants and has become one of the most highly sought after players in world football.

One team that wants him is Real Madrid, with them possessing a buy back clause on their former player, with Juventus chiefs worried that the Spanish club are aware of Arsenal’s interest and will pay the £23m buy back clause in order to then sell him on for a much grander fee.

If Morata were to join the north London side, he would have to compete with both the in-form Danny Welbeck and Olivier Giroud for a place in the side.

Wenger is believed to be a long-term admirer of Morata but never quite made the move – and despite the fact that the Spaniard could cost upwards of £30m, Arsenal have the budget to spend heavily on him.
