Arsenal to sign Alessio Cerci?

Arsenal will reportedly step out their pursuit for out-of-favour winger Alessio Cerci in the upcoming transfer window, according to The Express.

The Italian international joined Spanish champions Atletico Madrid over the summer, and has since then failed cement his place in the first-team.

According to The Express, the 27-year-old is frustrated at the lack of regular starts at Vicente Calderon, and will seek a move away from the club in the New Year.

The report adds that North London outfit could make a move for the talented winger when the transfer window reopens in January.

Cerci has made just six appearances for Atletico this season.
