Gareth Southgate tells Arsenal and Mikel Arteta how to utilise £75m transfer target

Arsenal have been heavily linked with a number of strikers as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his attack ahead of next season.

Two of the strikers the Gunners have been linked with were on show in the match between England and Italy, with Tammy Abraham leading the line for Gareth Southgate's side and Gianluca Scamacca featuring for the Azzurri. Both Abraham and Scamacca had impressive seasons for their respective clubs in Serie A, with the former scoring 17 goals compared to the latter's 16 in Italy's top-flight.

Southgate commented on his decision to start the former Chelsea striker ahead of Tottenham's Harry Kane on Saturday night admitting the 24-year-old's goal record is the 'best in the England team'. The Roma striker is valued around £75million which could make any potential deal a struggle considering the Gunners do not have the financial benefit offered by Champions League football next season.
