Edu turns attention to 35-goal striker – but Arsenal may be pipped again to £33m deal

Arsenal are reportedly already moving on from their Dusan Vlahovic disappointment amid claims Edu is working on a deal to sign Sassuolo striker Gianluca Scamacca.

The Gunners had been working all month on a deal to bring in Serbian goal machine Vlahovic. A rollercoaster of a month saw Arsenal seemingly land their man having launched a £58m bid. However, the longer the wait went on to wrap up his signing, the more unlikely it seemed that Arsenal would land their man.

And their worst fears were confirmed on Friday when Vlahovic secured a move to Juventus. The player’s agent brutally explaining here, in just four words, why he signed for the Italians.

In light of their disappointment, Arsenal have precious little time to lick their wounds.

Indeed, the likes of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Alexander Isak and Victor Osimhen have all been touted as potential options.

However, FC Inter News (via >The Boot Room) claim Arsenal are now considering a move for Scamacca.

The 23-year-old has scored nine goals in 23 games for the Serie A side this season. Indeed, his form has earned him his first caps for Italy, with Roberto Mancini twice calling upon on the Sassuolo marksman.

That said, Arsenal are not alone in their admiration for Scamacca.

As such, the same report claims Inter Milan are also contemplating a move for the much-travelled frontman before the window shuts.
