When asked by Football Insider for his assessment of the striker’s performance, Campbell said: “I thought he was neat and tidy.
“He is 6 foot 4 and you could see he has presence.
“He had a couple of half chances but the game wasn’t great. One thing I will say is that his link play is brilliant. It is very good and he puts himself about..
“If you watch video clips of him he looks decent. He knows where the goal is. It looks as if he will cause a lot of problems.
“His value is not going to be defined by the England game. I saw signs of why Arsenal are interested in him.”
Scamacca scored 16 goals in 36 Serie A appearances last season.
His contract with Sassuolo runs until the end of June 2026.
