Arsenal 'make contact with Napoli over a summer move for Fabian Ruiz' after Newcastle failed with a £34m bid for the midfielder last month... but Premier League rivals Man United, City and Liverpool are interested too

Arsenal are reportedly set to rival Newcastle and a host of European clubs for the signature of Napoli midfielder Fabian Ruiz this summer.

Ruiz, 25, has spent the last three-and-a-half years at Napoli after completing a £25million move from Real Betis in 2018, registering 20 goals and 15 assists in 150 outings for the Italian side.

This summer he is poised to enter the final year of his contract at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium, meaning Napoli may be tempted to cash in on him at the end of the season if tying him down to an extension appears unlikely.
