Arsenal's £35million bid for Sassuolo star Gianluca Scamacca 'is REBUFFED' as striker 'waits to sign for a rival Italian club' rather than make move to Gunners

Sassuolo star Gianluca Scamacca has reportedly 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 Italian journalist 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.
