Arsenal would be ‘favourite’ destination for midfielder as Premier League ace is linked

Arsenal were beaten 1-0 away at Everton over the weekend and will be looking to bounce back as soon as possible. They were given a favour by rivals Tottenham Hotspur as they beat 2nd place Manchester City on Sunday afternoon.

Next up for the Gunners is Brentford at home on Saturday. In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest news and rumours coming out of the club...

Midfielder eyes move

According to Italian news outlet lI Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24), Arsenal would be Sergej Milinković-Savić’s ‘favourite’ destination this summer. The midfielder is apparently keen on a move to the London club at the end of this season with his long-term future in Serie A up in the air at the moment.

The Serbian ace was at the World Cup earlier this winter in Qatar and saw his international teammate Sasa Lukic make a transfer to Fulham last month. He has been on the books at the Stadio Olimpico since 2014 and has made 321 appearances in all competitions.

Winger on radar

Mikel Arteta is believed to be keeping tabs on Brighton and Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma, as per The Sun. The Japan international has been a hit with the Seagulls so far this term and has scored eight league goals.

He made the move to England back in 2021 from K-League outfit Kawasaki Frontale. The 25-year-old then spent the last campaign on loan in Belgium with Royale Union Saint-Gilloise and helped them finish 2nd against the odds.
