Report: Arsenal, Liverpool watch Gregoire Defrel

Arsenal and Liverpool are both reportedly interested in signing Sassuolo forward Gregoire Defrel.

The 25-year-old, who started his career with Parma before moving on to Cesena and latterly Sassuolo, has scored four times in all competitions at the start of the 2016-17 campaign.

According to reports in Italy, both Arsenal and Liverpool have made subtle enquiries over the availability of the French-born striker, although Sassuolo are keen to hold on to their prized asset.

Defrel has helped his club collect 12 points from their first six games of the new Serie A season, which has left them in third position in the table, just three points behind the leaders and champions Juventus.
