Rafael Leao makes Milan transfer announcement amid Arsenal and Chelsea links as deal agreed

Arsenal and Chelsea's pursuit of AC Milan winger Rafael Leao appears to be over for now as the Portuguese international has announced a new contract at the club. The forward has been the subject of plenty of transfer interest, with his deal previously only running until 2024.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed his rise to fame with the Rossoneri as last season he helped end Juventus' dominance in Serie A by guiding his side to the Scudetto. While there have been some struggles for the Milan side this campaign, 23 league goal involvements in 34 appearances has shown a healthy return.

One goal and five assists in the Champions League also saw the winger guide the team to a Champions League semi-final, where his absence was sorely felt in two-legged defeat to Inter Milan. With the expiring contract, there has naturally been some interest in landing Leao.
