Wenger channels Trump by dismissing Belotti reports as 'fake news'

The Frenchman says the Gunners have not made a bid for the Torino ace, while also revealing Carl Jenkinson is set to join Crystal Palace

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger channelled his inner Donald Trump on Friday by dismissing claims he had tabled bid for Torino striker Andrea Belotti as "fake news".

The Italy international has been in sublime form in Serie A this season and Torino sporting director Gianluca Petrachi suggested last weekend that Arsenal had made an offer for the forward.

But Wenger insists there is no truth in claims the 23-year-old could be on his way to Emirates Stadium and has also ruled out a move for Real Madrid's Alvaro Morata.
