Arsenal are in pole position to sign Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The Spanish coach has the 28-year-old playmaker as one of the options for the summer window as the London giants look for a new midfielder to compete with Xhaka.
The Spanish manager has much work ahead of the summer window. And there could be new arrivals at Arsenal. While the Gunners are in the thick of the title race, their participation in the UCL looks inevitable.
Playing in Europe’s premier tournament requires a large squad with quality footballers, something they somewhat lack in all areas. There were some links over a winter move. But no team would have paid what Lazio wanted for Serbia international.
Paying €40m for Sergej in the final year of his contract makes complete sense. Whether Lazio would accept those numbers stays the question. But the Serbian midfielder might open the doors for a move to the PL and the Gunners if the chance comes by after several years in Serie A.
