Arsenal have had a long-standing interest in the former AC Milan star. As , Arsene Wenger was a big fan of the midfielder during his teenage years with the Rossoneri in 2016. However, the former Gunners boss never made an official move for Locatelli.
Since moving to Sassuolo, the midfielder has flourished into one of the most exciting players in Italian football. As , the deep-lying playmaker is known for his on-the-ball qualities as well as his ability to distribute play with accuracy and speed.
As , Arsenal are close to making their first two signings of the window. Benfica left-back Nuno Tavares is likely to join the club, as well as R.S.C. Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga.
Locatelli could be perfect Xhaka replacement at Arsenal
