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.
And, while Scamacca is yet to decide his future, Sassuolo seem to already have life without the striker planned out. The Italian side have completed the signing of 21-year-old striker Agustin Alvarez, who could be seen as a direct replacement for the Arsenal target.
