Arsenal Fail In Attempt To Sign 9 Goal Serie A Poacher Who Was Also Lined Up As 37.4M Haaland Successor

Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca has turned down interest from Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund, according to reports in the Italian media.

While the Gunners registered an interest in the 23-year-old, it is said that Dortmund had tabled a formal bid worth €45m ((£37.4m) for the player as the Bundesliga side seek a replacement for Erling Haaland.

However, Scamacca is keen on staying in Italy and Serie A champions Inter Milan are now believed to be favourites to secure his signature, having already agreed personal terms with the player.

While Scamacca is thought to have a promising future, his nine goals in 23 appearances this season hardly makes him a standout candidate in terms of Arsenal’s pursuit of a new number nine.

Reports suggest that Mikel Arteta’s side are focused on signing Real Sociedad’s Alexander Isak, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin or Lille’s Jonathan David. If they can’t secure one of these players before the transfer window closes, they may seek a short-term solution, with a loan deal for Real Madrid’s Luka Jovic being touted.
