Arsenal transfer news: Gunners boosted as French ace Corentin Tolisso pulls out of a Napoli switch

Arsenal remain in the hunt for Corentin Tolisso after he pulled out of a move to Napoli.

The 21-year-old is on the Gunners' radar following three impressive seasons in Lyon's first team.

Reports in France have suggested that he dreams of one day joining Arsenal but it looked as though that move would have to wait with a switch to Napoli close.

The two sides had agreed on a whopping £31.5million deal and Tolisso had even sorted out personal terms with the Italian club.

It was even claimed that he had opted to join Napoli in the hope that success there would prompt Arsenal to finally make their move for him.

However, the switch to Naples is now off after Tolisso decided against leaving Lyon after having second thoughts about playing for the Serie A club.
