Arsenal transfer news: Gabriele Corbo update as Gunners look to continue spending spree (Image: GETTY)
Italian newspaper La Repubblica indicate Arsenal’s interest in the Under-20 international has been mirrored by that of a clutch of clubs.
Serie A sides Fiorentina, Juventus and Sassuolo have all had their eye on Corbo during his rise.
While Bayern Munich took the 18-year-old on trial last season to have a closer look at how he’s developing.
However, they have all been beaten to the punch by Bologna, who are said to have struck a deal with Spezia.
La Repubblica claim Bologna are poised to hand over £2m (€2.2m) for Corbo, with £1.1m (€1.2m) to be paid immediately.
Corbo was apparently in Bologna yesterday to train with his prospective new team-mates.

Arsenal transfer news: Gabriele Corbo update as Gunners look to continue spending spree (Image: GETTY)
And the centre-back is due to link up with Filippo Inzaghi’s senior squad once Mino Raiola’s agency finalise his switch.
Arsenal have also shown interest in Freiburg’s Caglar Soyuncu as they’ve sought to bolster their defence this summer.
Freiburg manager Christian Streich is confident the Turkey international is staying put though.
"We plan completely with him," said Streich. "And everything else, that's not what we're dealing with!"
