Arsenal dealt a blow in pursuit of Sassuolo forward Gianluca Scamacca as PSG 'submit opening bid'

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly submitted an opening bid to Sassuolo for Arsenal target Gianluca Scamacca.

The 23-year-old netted 16 Serie A goals for Sassuolo last season and is believed to be on the Gunners' summer target list.

Mikel Arteta desperately needs reinforcements up front this summer after the departures of Pierre-Emeric Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette and was said to be keeping tabs on Scamacca during his breakthrough season at Sassuolo.
