Reported Arsenal and West Ham target could leave AC Milan

AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella has revealed that M'Baye Niang could be leaving the club before the close of the transfer window.

The 22-year-old has been rated as one of the finest talents in the Serie A, but his potential has yet to be displayed in form of goals at San Siro.

While speaking to Milan TV, Montella admitted that Niang will play no part in his side's Coppa Italia quarter-final versus Juventus as he continues to weigh up his next move.

"Niang might leave the club. He's discussing it with the management," he told the source. "He won't be called up for the game against Juve as I thought he would definitely have been distracted."

London duo Arsenal and West Ham United have watched Niang on several occasions over the past couple of years, and it could be a fight between the two to sign the talented forward.

Niang has only scored three times for the Rossoneri all season and none have come in the last 11 outings.
