The 18-year-old joined the Italian club’s academy two years ago after impressing at the Under-17 World Cup and made his first Serie A appearance in April.

Han was sent out on loan to Perugia towards the end of the summer transfer window and made an immediate impact as he scored a hat-trick in his Serie B debut against Virtus Entella.

And Tuttosport now claims that Arsene Wenger has ordered scouts to monitor the striker’s progress ahead of a potential move.


Han Kwang-Song is the only player from North Korea to score in Serie A.

Everton are also monitoring the forward and have sent scouts to watch his progress in Italy.



Han’s performances have also attracted attention from Juventus, who could sign the forward and then loan him out to a smaller club.

Han has already been capped twice by North Korea’s senior side and is the only player in the nation’s history to score a goal in Serie A.
