Arsenal and Inter Milan both suffered a major blow in the recruitment department as it emerged that one of their attacking targets, Gianluca Scamaca, had signed a new deal with Sassuolo.
The Italian striker has caught the eye of clubs across Europe in the past two seasons, scoring 13 league goals so far this season, one less than Inter Milan’s top scorer Lautaro Martinez, and nine more than Alexandre Lacazette.
Still only 23 years old, the Sassuolo striker has been linked with Liverpool and Tottenham, but it’s Arsenal and Inter who have garnered the most attention. However, a new contract may change that.
SCAMACA has announced an agreement in which he will remain at the club until 2026, that is, another four years. In fact, he is unlikely to see it if he continues to impress, but it will provide more financial strength to the selling club, and potentially raise the price.

Lautaro Martinez kick from Arsenal?
Any move from Inter Milan to Skamaka could in turn have allowed Arsenal to hunt down Martinez from the San Siro, but that now looks unlikely.
It’s the first domino to fall in what will be a long summer in the strikers market as well. Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are all seeking a new No. 9, and one has just been taken off the market.
It could be one of the biggest spending diversion windows in a long time if supply fails to keep pace with rising demand.
