Manager reveals Serie A club like prolific striker: Claudio Ranieri has scouted him
GIANLUCA LAPADULA is a target for Sassuolo, according to the club's manager.
Lapadula has had plenty of attention this month, not least from Premier League champions Leicester
Lapadula was the top scorer in Serie B last season with 27 goals in 44 appearances in Italy's second tier.
The 26-year-old Pescara striker started his youth career at Juventus but joined Parma in 2009.
However, he never made an appearance for the club, instead going out on loan to seven different clubs in six years.
"We also look to Italy for the market.
"Lapadula is very good.
"We've been following him for a while."
