Rafael Leao opened up on his admiration for Arsenal - just as Mikel Arteta promised that he "can get a striker" in the January transfer window.
The Gunners are scouring the market for a new centre-forward after Gabriel Jesus suffered a knee injury and underwent surgery which will take months to recover from. The north Londoners emerged from Christmas Day a the top of the Premier League table and Emirates Stadium chiefs are desperate to continue the unexpected title charge.
Arteta insists he will receive the backing he needs to sign a new forward but warned he will only splash the cash on a player who will "make the team better". Leao, 23, would certainly improve Arsenal's quality having scored 11 goals to help AC Milan win Serie A last season, while also netting twice at the World Cup for Portugal.
