Arsenal have made an offer for Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca.

Sportitalia says Scamacca has declined a move to the Emirates after Arsenal made £35 million bid to sign him.

The Gunners were keeping tabs on the striker during his breakthrough season at Sassuolo and have made an offer of £35 million plus bonuses in 'recent weeks', according to Sportitalia's Alfredo Pedulla.

But Scamacca, who netted 16 Serie A goals in 36 appearances last season, is believed to have rebuffed Arsenal's offer in the hope of signing for an Italian giant this summer.

In reference to the Arsenal deal, La Gazetta dello Sport claim that 'the train stopped almost immediately' as the 'patient' 23-year-old 'wants to give priority to any proposals from Serie A'.

The North London club are in need of a striker having let both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette leave the Emirates in 2022.
