Arsenal are interested in Juventus striker Simone Zaza, with Tutto Mercato Web stating that the Gunners are ready to make a move to sign the Italy international.
The former Sassuolo centre-forward is being linked with an exit from the Serie A champions, with Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and club-record signing Gonzalo Higuain ahead of him in the Bianconeri’s pecking order.
Arsenal are reliant on Olivier Giroud as their only out-and-out striker and calls from the Emirates Stadium supporters over a number of transfer windows have seemingly urged the North London side to add another number nine to Arsene Wenger’s squad.
Zaza is being linked with a host of different clubs, with it looking increasingly likely that he will move before the end of August – West Ham United are commonly mentioned as suitors.
The Italian forward was in the global gaze after missing a penalty against Germany at EURO 2016, with his peculiar run-up mocked on social media.
Arsenal could well be set to try to sign Zaza, who would be a relatively underwhelming addition to the Gunners’ group.
