Ex-Gunner wants to stay in England

Arturo Lupoli, once one of Arsenal's brightest prospects, aims to finally make a name for himself in England.

The Italian striker who is currently on loan at Sheffield United from Serie A side Fiorentina, told skysports.com: "If there was a good chance to stay in England I would love to stay here because I am enjoying my football."

Lupoli left Arsenal in 2007 on a free transfer to join the Florence-based oufit. He had spent four years at Highbury and went on loan to Derby after his good goalscoring record at reserve level. On his return to Arsenal he found his options limited and decided to go back to his homeland.

At Fiorentina, with strikers Alberto Gilardino and Adrian Mutu in hot form, Lupoli has again found it difficult to break into the first team. He joined Norwich on loan earlier in the season, scoring two goals, but now has an opportunity with the Blades to show what he can do.

Lupoli scored in the steel city derby against Sheffield Wednesday earlier this month and will hope for more opportunities in the first team.
