Arsenal and Leicester send scouts to watch Italy star Domenico Berardi as Sassuolo set transfer fee
ARSENAL and Leicester are both interested in signing Sassuolo winger Domenico Berardi, according to reports.
The Italian side have set a £25million price tag for their captain, with a number of clubs fighting for his signature.
According to transfer journalist Nicolo Schira, both Arsenal and Leicester have been monitoring him.
The two clubs have sent scouts over to Italy in recent weeks to track his situation.
Napoli and AC Milan are also interested in signing the 27-year-old.
Berardi has been in fine form this season - in 26 appearances for Sassuolo he has registered 12 goals and 14 assists.
His current contract does not expire until June 2024, but he could leave the club as soon as the summer after impressing some of Europe's best managers.
It was recently revealed that the Gunners aim to make a host of additions this summer.
