Emery after Roma midfielder for first Arsenal signing

When a new head coach comes in, understandably, they want to put their stamp on the team and that includes bringing in some different faces.

For Emery and the 'Gunners', that is just the case with the aforementioned media outlet claiming they are after Pellegrini.

The 21-year-old made 37 appearances for Roma this season, scoring three goals in the process, as the Serie A outfit finished third in the league and eliminated Barcelona from the Champions League to reach the semi-finals.

To lure Pellegrini away from Italy, Arsenal would have to meet his £26million release clause - a relatively small figure in today's market. 

If they were successful, Roma would allegedly look to Atalanta's Bryan Cristante as his potential replacement.
