Icardi falls out with Inter fans, Arsenal should swoop in

In the latest turn of events in the soap opera that is the career of Mauro Icardi, the Argentine striker and Inter captain told us all in his new autobiography that he was urged to call Argentine hit men on some Inter ultras.

Sure, that might seem pretty bad, and it totally is, but why can’t Gooners look over his lethally violent tendencies and look at his goalscoring record?

Arsenal supporters have figured out that Olivier Giroud is not the answer as a number nine, as well as the fact that Alexis Sanchez’s skills are better used on the wing.Lucas Perez seems like a bit of a wild card at this point in time, so Arsene Wenger should continue to look elsewhere for a main goal threat in the January transfer window. Who better to go for than Mauro Icardi? Sure, he stole the wife of his favorite player and got their kids tattooed onto his body, but he is the club captain at the tender age of 23!

Add his prolific scoring record, and we are looking at quite the player. With 53 goals in 96 appearances for Inter, the Argentine has proven his quality. In his best year with the former Italian titans, Icardi put away 27 goals, proving that he really does have that…killer instinct.

So, Icardi adds more of the nastiness to the team that Wenger got when he signed Granit Xhaka in the early days of the summer transfer window.If Wenger wants to go for a high risk, high reward signing, this is the perfect man to sign. With the right supply, the team get get a 25 goal-per-year man, and with the money they would save signing him instead of someone priced like Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, they could resign Mesut Özil to the deal he wants. Signing Icardi is a gamble, but if it pays off, then Arsenal could become a dynasty.
