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.

Arsenal saw an offer of around £35million rejected by the Italian club, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Earlier this month, it was reported that Scamacca rebuffed the offer from the Premier League in the hope of signing for an Italian giant this summer.
And now their pursuit of the striker has been dealt a further blow as PSG entered the race for Scamacca.

The French side have submitted an opening offer of £30m plus bonuses, according to Sky Italia.
However, that sum was also rebuffed by Sassuolo, who reportedly want a fee of £43m for the Italy international.
But Arsenal could continue to face competition for Scamacca as negotiations between the Italian club and PSG are said to be expected to continue.
The Gunners will have to act quickly if they want to secure the services of the towering six-foot-four attacker.
