Arsenal have made an enquiry over the availability of Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, with his contract set to expire in 2024. The Gunners were heavily linked with a move for the Serbian international in the summer but a move never materialised.
Milinkovic-Savic has no desire to extend his current deal and that stance seems to remain the same meaning Lazio will likely sell next summer or in January to avoid him departing on a free. Arsenal got the opportunity to take a closer look at the 27-year-old at the World Cup in Qatar and although Serbia exited the tournament without a victory, Milinkovic-Savic's quality was clear to see.
A goal in the frantic 3-3 draw with Cameroon prompted Lazio president to Claudio Lotito to make a huge claim on his star player: "Guess how much he's worth - he scored a goal at the World Cup with his ankle injured and he's the best midfielder in the world."
