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.
