Fiorentina star in demand from Arsenal and United

According to reports this morning, Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo is being chased by two of English footballs top guns. The midfielder has become a mainstay in their starting XI and has also been a vital member of the Italian national side in recent years.The Italian star has yet to put pen to paper on a new deal with La Viola, a move which has sparked rapid interest from Arsenal and United. With Arsene Wenger being a known admirer of Montolivos talent and sensing a bargain deal on the horizon, he is ready to make an offer. Sir Alex Ferguson is not one to let an opportunity slip and has already been in contact regarding a possible move. Scouts from both clubs were thought to be in attendance for the Euro 2012 qualifier between the Azzurri and Northern Ireland last night.
