Arsenal handed huge Sergej Milinkovic-Savic transfer boost as Lazio star 'changes mind' on move

Arsenal have been handed a huge transfer boost as Lazio star Sergej Milinkovic-Savic 'changes his mind' on a move to the Emirates Stadium. The Lazio midfielder has been linked with a switch to the Premier League over the past few years and now could finally seal a move to England.

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been rumoured to hold an interest in the Serbia international. Milinkovic-Savic has been a standout performer for Lazio so far this season, scoring five goals and providing a further seven assists in 20 appearances - the same number of goal contributions as Gunners forward Gabriel Jesus.

The 27-year-old is entering the final 18 months of his current deal with the Serie A outfit meaning January could prove to be the best time to sell before his value begins to drop. football.london reported during the summer that Mikel Arteta was in the market for a midfielder and those plans are unlikely to have changed after Arsenal missed out on a deal for Douglas Luiz on Deadline Day.
