AC Milan want to sign Arsenal striker in January

AC Milan are keen on landing Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette when the transfer window reopens next month.

The Frenchman has been a regular for the Gunners in recent weeks, but his future with the club remains uncertain.

His current deal expires next summer, and reports have emerged that the board have no plans of prolonging his stay.

He is free to negotiate a pre-contract with a foreign club in January, but Milan are looking to sign him on a permanent deal.

The Rossoneri are currently three points adrift of leaders Napoli, and they are keen to bolster their strikeforce with Lacazette.

The club have plenty of quality in their ranks with the presence of Olivier Giroud, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ante Rebic.

However, they are keen on freshening things up next month. Lacazette is seen as someone, who could boost their title hopes.

It is unclear whether the Gunners will consider his exit. Mikel Arteta recently said that the Frenchman will stay for the season.
