Hirving Lozano is attracting interest from Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Fulham as the winger continues to evaluate his Napoli future.
According to Fichajes, at least three Premier League clubs are showing an interest in Hirving Lozano. The 27-year-old forward is evaluating his future at Serie A club Napoli. And Arsenal, Newcastle United, and Fulham could enter the chase for the Mexican international this month.
Hirving Lozano is enduring a tough season at Napoli, as many others have taken his starting spot in the team. Luciano Spalletti’s side continued their flying form in Serie A and dismantled Juventus at home to extend their lead at the top of the table. The manager has no reason to change his starting lineup unless there is a raft of injuries.
Lozano will not be hoping for such a scenario but would like regular minutes in the team. He may have come to the realisation a starting spot may be out of the question in the current scenario. So there are question marks over his long-term future at Napoli.
As many as three Premier League clubs are showing an interest in the 27-year-old attacker. The report claims that Arsenal and Newcastle United are keen, with Fulham also credited with an interest. Those clubs are vying to sign the forward this month to strengthen their respective squads.
With his contract lasting until 2024, this window may also represent the best time for Napoli to cash in, as his value will depreciate in the summer. Starting with Arsenal, Mikel Arteta is keen to strengthen the wide areas of his team by bringing cover for Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.
They have a returning Emile Smith Rowe, who usually plays in those roles, and Arsenal are closing in on Mykhaylo Mudryk. The Ukrainian international will strengthen the left side of the attack, but there are still questions about Saka’s area. The right-wing does not have sufficient cover, and Lozano would prove the perfect deputy.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United have kept tabs on the 27-year-old for a while now. Eddie Howe is keen on bringing attacking reinforcements this month and continues to monitor several names in the market. There are also concerns about Allan Saint-Maximin’s future, but the Magpies are unlikely to let him leave this month.
Howe wants to add quality depth and bring in players he could rely upon for the second part of the season. Newcastle United are front-runners to finish in the top four, and it is imperative they do not slip out of that position later on.
Finally, Fulham are also credited with an interest. Marco Silva is looking out for a new forward amid interest in Timothy Weah. The Cottagers recently beat Chelsea and climbed to the sixth position on the table. Their fans will now dream of European qualification in their first season back in the Premier League.
Lozano could prove a shrewd addition for Fulham. For instance, the Mexican international could also prove a better option than Manor Salomon and help the club push to achieve their targets this season. Whether they can convince the 27-year-old attacker to swap a title-challenging Napoli for west London is the question.
