The Italian international was signed outright by the Turin giants this past summer after spending two seasons with Sassuolo.

His form with the Serie A minnows earn him a place in Antonio Conte’s Italy squad, but it appears as though the reigning champions don’t see his future with them.
With Euro 2016 fast approaching, the 24-year-old will likely want to move on in order to secure first-team football, and it could be the Gunners who offer him the opportunity.
Arsene Wenger has come under increased criticism after failing to sign a striker during the summer transfer window, but he could rectify that issue within months.
Much can change before January, but it is widely suggested that Zaza is on their radar and could be a Plan B if things don’t go well with the Frenchman’s current options.
