​Arsenal reviving five-year old interest in Sassulo midfielder Locatelli

Arsenal are renewing their long standing interest in midfielder Manuel Locatelli.

According to football.london, the Gunners have identified four positions they want to improve in the summer.

Two of those are left back and central attacking midfield.

If they are unable to sign midfielder Houssem Aouar from Lyon or Jack Grealish from Aston Villa, they could turn to Sassuolo star Locatelli.

The 23-year-old is a former AC Milan player who Arsenal have scouted since he was 18.

The Gunners tried to sign him many years ago, but nothing materialised.

Now they could come back in for the young star, as he has blossomed into a player who can succeed at a top club.
