Gunners eyeing Milinkovic-Savic

Arsenal have been linked with a move for the Serbian international midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

The Lazio midfielder has been linked with several top clubs in recent seasons and it will be interesting to see if he decides to move out of Italy this summer.

According to reports, the highly talented midfielder is a target for Newcastle as well. Apparently, Arsenal are prepared to pay around £42M for the midfielder this summer.

Milinkovic-Savic is a box-to-box midfielder who will help out defensively and contribute in the attacking phase of play as well.

The towering midfielder has the ability to shield the Arsenal defenders and chip in with vital goals from the midfield.

The Serbian is at the peak of his powers right now and he could prove to be an exceptional acquisition for the Gunners if they manage to pull off his signing.

However, they will not be able to offer Champions League football next season and that could be a major issue when it comes to signing ambitious players.

Marquinhos set to join

Meanwhile, the Gunners are set to announce the arrival of Brazilian forward Marquinhos as well.

The Londoners have agreed on a deal worth around £3M to sign the talented youngster and the transfer should be made official soon.

The youngster is highly rated in South America and he has the potential to develop into a quality first-team player.

It’ll be interesting to see if Mikel Arteta can unlock his potential and help him succeed in English Premier League now.
