Arsenal HAVE made contact with Palermo for striker Paulo Dybala. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has denied the claims of Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini.
But Italian transfer expert Gianluca DiMarzio claims Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov, who owns 25 per cent of the club, has written to the Serie A side asking how much the club want for their star asset.
The Italian website's claim would not contradict Wenger's comments, as it is thought Usmanov was only issuing a request for information rather than lodging a formal bid.
