Arsenal could have turned their attention to two Tottenham Hotspur stars had they been unable to secure one of their key summer targets.Arsenal have continued from where they left off last season, having started the season with three straight wins in the Premier League.Their 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday cemented their status as the overwhelming favourites to retain the title, with the Gunners having strengthened their squad in key areas.Summer signing Ezri Konsa delivered a solid display on his home debut against the Blues, and it turns out that had the Gunners not got him, they could have knocked on Spurs’ door.Photo by SpursWebArsenal considered moving to sign Cristian Romero or Micky van de Ven from TottenhamAccording to BBC Sport, had Arsenal failed to strike a deal to sign Konsa from Aston Villa, they could have turned to two Spurs centre-backs.The report claims that former Tottenham captain Cristian Romero and current captain Micky van de Ven were both on the Gunners’ list of targets.However, the report suggests that any attempts from Arsenal to sign the two players may have been rebuffed by the Lilywhites, who did not want a repeat of the controversial Sol Campbell move across North London 20 years ago.Romero ended up leaving for Atletico Madrid in a £34m deal, while Van de Ven has since signed a fresh five-year deal at Spurs, with the Dutchman now one of the highest-paid players in the squad.Arsenal are rumoured to have approached RomeroThis is not the first we are hearing of this, as it was reported in the middle of the summer window that Arsenal showed serious interest in Romero.In fact, The Sun even claimed the Spurs star was open to a move to the Emirates Stadium, but the Lilywhites refused to do business with their fierce rivals.However, this was rubbished by journalist Fernando Czyz, who reported that Romero thanked Arsenal for their interest but rejected the move to the champions as he had his heart set on uniting with Diego Simeone at Atletico.READ MORE: Gary Neville is ‘surprised’ Chelsea overlooked signing £34m Tottenham starThe post Arsenal had two Tottenham stars on summer transfer wishlist, including £34m defender appeared first on Spurs Web.
