Sassuolo drop huge Gianluca Scamacca transfer hint as Arsenal eye £30m Gabriel Jesus backup plan

Arsenal have been handed a huge boost towards completing the signing of Gianluca Scamacca, with Mikel Arteta eager to bolster his striker force this summer. The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium lately, though the Gunners reportedly face tough competition from Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan for the striker's signature.

The Italy international featured 36 times for Sassuolo in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards 16 goals. His impressive displays steered the club within touching distance of a top-half finish, courting the interest of several European giants in the process.
