Arsenal leading race to sign Serie A midfielder
Arsenal are reportedly front-runners to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic in the New Year.
The Gunners are expected to pursue new signings next month and a central midfielder could be one of the top priorities.
Milinkovic-Savic's name has been regularly mentioned in recent weeks, and the Gunners are now being fancied to sign him.
The Serbian has been with Lazio for the past seven years, but he could be on the move soon amid his fragile contract status.
He has refused to sign a new deal beyond the summer of 2024, and Lazio could be tempted to sell him at the earliest possibility.
Gazzetta dello Sport claim that he could be prised away for around €50m when the transfer window reopens next month.
Juventus and AC Milan have been linked with him lately, but Arsenal are said to be 'in the lead' to land his signature.
He would be a brilliant purchase for the north London club. His creativity could provide a cutting edge in the title race.
