The Arsenal faithful have taken to social media in their numbers on Saturday evening, to provide their respective takes on the performance of Italy’s Gianluca Scamacca against Germany.
For those not aware, hitman Scamacca has been heavily linked with a move to the Emirates in the Italian media across the last 48 hours.
In fact, some outlets have gone as far as to insist that the Gunners have tabled a big-money proposal for Sassuolo’s powerful no.9, viewing the 23-year-old as a potential replacement for the outgoing Alexandre Lacazette.
The board at the Mapei Stadium, though, have thus far refused to cave to Arsenal’s advances.
🚨 Sassuolo reject a €40m bid from Arsenal for Gianluca Scamacca. The Italians want €50m. Reports, @Gazzetta_it. https://t.co/S7G1JlMjLX

Nevertheless, upon word surfacing online that Scamacca was in line to lead the line for Italy in the country’s Nations League showdown with Germany on Saturday, it came as little surprise to see Arsenal’s fans make use of the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the talents of their club’ alleged summer target.
And, if the ensuing reaction across social media is anything to go by, then most appear to have been left impressed by what they witnessed.
Across his 85 minutes on the pitch at the Stadio Renato Dell’Ara, Scamacca did enough to spark something of a love-in on the red half of north London, with some having already made their minds up that the towering hitman is the answer to the centre-forward woes at the Emirates.
Scamacca has that dawg in him I need to see him at the football institution known as Arsenal

Jesus – Scamacca – Saka
Physical presence in the box with a goal threat coming from the wings. This is something I’d like to see at arsenal.

Scamacca needs to get over the fear of leaving his homeland and come to Arsenal.

Scamacca. Let’s get him in.

It’ll come down to the price but Arsenal should seriously consider buying Scamacca.
A physically imposing CF profile is what they ideally need to add a completely different element as well as someone who can bring others into play like Laca used to.
This lad can ✅️

Scamacca really would be a fantastic addition to that Arsenal front line, shame it’ll never happen.

OK, I’ve seen enough to be sold on the Scamacca project @Arsenal. Get it done, sign that man!

I will say Scamacca’s hold up play has been good this game. It’s like he has a force field around him no defender can get close
