Lorenzo Insigne's agent has insisted he has had no contact with Arsenal over his client this summer and stressed Napoli have also not informed him of any approach, even though he knows the striker is a wanted man.
Arsenal have been linked with weighing up a swoop for the Italy international, who impressed at Napoli last term and scored a brace in the Coppa Italia final to help the Azzurri claim the trophy.
Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis was quick to warn the Gunners he values the striker at €70m and the player's agent, Fabio Andreotti, claims Arsene Wenger's men have not yet been in touch.
"We have not been contacted by Arsenal for Lorenzo Insigne and Napoli have not told us about any interest", he explained to Radio CRC.
"Lorenzo is wanted by several European clubs and it does not surprise me to know that big clubs are interested in him.

"But Napoli have not put him on the market", Andreotti concluded.
Insigne, who was born in Naples, started his career in the club's youth ranks, enjoying loan stints with Cavese, Foggia and Pescara before returning to stake his first team claim.
