​Campbell urges Arsenal to sign Sassuolo midfielder Locatelli

Former Arsenal striker Kevin Campbell hopes the club can secure Manuel Locatelli this summer.

The Italian has impressed at Euro 2020 with his nation as they prepare for a final against England on Sunday.

The 23-year-old is being linked to a whole host of clubs, including Italian giants Juventus.

Campbell hopes Arsenal can pull out all the stops to sign the creative Sassuolo star.

"It would be huge if we can get him," Campbell said.

"We have seen what a great player he is at the Euros.

"Normally, Italians like to stay in their own country, especially when Juventus come calling. But the great thing for Arsenal is Juventus do not have the money anymore. With financial fair play they have to box straight.

"It gives Arsenal a great opportunity to get a world-class midfielder in beside Thomas Partey. Go for it. Go and get him, please Arsenal."
