Arsenal is interested in signing the Portuguese international striker Rafael Leao from AC Milan at the end of the season.
According to the French publication Footmermato, they have a final interest in the 25 -year -old striker, and the sports director of Arsenal, Andrea Berta, called the player personally ten days ago.
It will be interesting to see if Arsenal followed by his interest with an official offer to sign the player. The 25 -year -old is one of the best attackers in Italian football, and he also proved himself in European competitions. Leao has 25 goal contributions this season.
Arsenal needs Rafael Leo
Leao could prove to be a useful acquisition for Arsenal, which seeks to add more quality and depth on the sides. He was also linked to Chelsea.
Gabriel Martinelli has had a disappointing season, and Arsenal needs more options at their disposal. The Portuguese international is able to function as a left winger as well as a center-forward. Its versatility will be an additional bonus for Arsenal if they can conclude the agreement.
Leao would be a great addition
The attacker was hailed as a “great player” of the Brazilian legend Ronaldinho. There is no doubt that he has physical and technical attributes to succeed in the Premier League, and he could be a key player for Arsenal. It remains to be seen if the London Club can negotiate a reasonable agreement for him.
The report of the French publication says that Leo had a mixed campaign with Italian outfit, and the two parties could seek to separate in summer.
It will be interesting to see how the situation takes place in the coming weeks. Arsenal must improve their attack unit if they want to seriously win the League title next season. A wide quality player and a reliable center center should be their priority.
