Arsenal have reportedly identified Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic as their latest transfer target after signing Gabriel Jesus, but face competition from Newcastle United.
The Spanish-born Serbia international has spent the last seven years at the Stadio Olimpico after leaving Belgian side Genk, with the 27-year-old being previously linked with interest from Manchester United in previous years.
Reports are now claiming that both the Gunners and the Magpies are interested in signing the one-time Coppa Italia winner this summer, with both clubs looking to bolster their midfields this summer, a repeat of the battle the two clubs had to sign Bruno Guimaraes in January from Lyon, with Eddie Howe’s side coming out on top last time.
Reports from Gazzetta dello Sport claim that the duo have viewed Milinkovic-Savic as a potential transfer option this summer.
