Relieved Arsenal fans have praised 'wise' Mikel Arteta for not pursuing a move for Mauro Icardi in Janaury, claiming the PSG forward's off-field antics could 'derail a project' at the Emirates.
The Gunners were looking to sign a forward after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left to join Barcelona on a free transfer, with Arteta left with just Eddie Nketiah and Alexandre Lacazette up top.
Reports from The Athletic on Monday claimed that Arsenal were presented with the chance to sign Icardi from PSG with the Ligue 1 willing to explore the idea of a potential swap deal involving the Argentinian striker.
