Sassuolo are bracing for offers from England for their star striker Grégoire Defrel.

TMW says Arsenal and Liverpool have had scouts regularly posted to Sassuolo games this season to track the Frenchman's progress.

And there's concerns inside the Sassuolo that both English clubs will make attempts for Defrel in January.

"I'm very well, I worked so hard in preseason, and I'm very happy. I must continue like this," said the forward.

Sassuolo meet Genk in the Europa League later tonight.
