As far as WAGs go, Wanda Nara has more influence than most.
Mrs Mauro Icardi has been making quite a name for herself this summer, revealing that her husband wants to leave Inter Milan; she also happens to be his agent, but the Nerazzurri haven’t taken kindly to her spilling such inside information.
Tottenham were reportedly willing to make a club record bid for the Argentinian, hoping his compatriot Mauricio Pochettino could tempt him to north London.
However, it now appears that should he move to the area, it wouldn’t necessarily be to link up with Spurs.
According to Italian publication Corriere della Sera, the Lilywhites’ rivals Arsenal are now interested in bringing in the striker.
Arsene Wenger is desperate to bring in a top forward to placate angry Arsenal fans, and now more than ever, as Danny Welbeck is not expected to play until early next year.

Icardi is not enough of a concrete Spurs target for the Gunners to claim they will have stolen him from under their noses, but should he be a hit in the Premier League, Tottenham could be left kicking themselves that they didn’t sure up their interest.
