Arsenal 'ready to invest' £30m on transfer target as Edu's striker shortlist 'revealed'

Arsenal are extremely interested in signing Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca if recent reports are to be believed.

The north Londoners are looking to sign at least one centre-forward in the summer transfer window and Manchester City frontman Gabriel Jesus and AS Roma star Tammy Abraham are two names on the shortlist of technical director Edu. The Brazilian transfer chief has even held talks with Jesus' representatives in recent times, with the player now into the final 13 months of his contract at the Etihad Stadium.

The Athletic have previously reported that the aforementioned Scamacca, along with Inter Milan's Lautaro Martinez, Everton forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Victor Osimhen of Napoli have all been discussed by Gunners boss Mikel Arteta and Edu. Now, Italian outlet Republica have claimed that Arteta is keen to bring Scamacca to the Emirates and Arsenal are ready to invest €35million (£30million) to sign the 23-year-old following an impressive 2021/22 season that saw him net 16 times in Serie A.
