TRANSFER UPDATE: AC Milan now want to sign £45 million Arsenal player

Arsenal could have a busy summer this year, and it appears that AC Milan may be one of the clubs to give finances. Mikel Arteta wants to add a handful of new players to bolster his squad after missing out on the title for the second consecutive season.

Of course, while bringing in new players is a priority for the Arsenal manager, there is also an understanding that certain players will have to be sold. Emile Smith Rowe and Eddie Nketiah face uncertain futures. While defender Jakub Kiwior is thought to be on the radar of AC Milan. According to an additional source from Italy, another Arsenal player is now on Milan’s radar.

AC Milan may make a play for Gabriel Jesus this summer. According to Sport Italia, Milan is turning to the market for fresh striker targets. According to this rumor, Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus could be one of the players Milan eventually turns to. It has been speculated that if Arsenal wishes to sell, they would need to make some pay and fee sacrifices, but nothing is off the table, like Romelu Lukaku did when he left Chelsea. Jesus, a £45 million transfer from Manchester City, was widely credited with boosting the entire squad when he joined Oleksandr Zinchenko. However, he had a bad season by his own standards and spent much more time injured. Indeed, Leandro Trossard has emerged as Mikel Arteta’s preferred top-line choice.

When it comes to winning league titles, there is no hiding spot, and Arsenal may have to follow suit, just as Man City did. Finally, the ‘electric’ Jesus does not score enough goals to be called a top nine in any club. Yes, he contributes significantly to the team’s work rate and overall performance in the final third. However, with only eight goals last season and three distinct injury absences, questions remain. Jesus, perhaps, may be one of the players Arteta chooses to be harsh with before moving on.
