Arsenal and Newcastle United have both set their sights on signing AC Milan forward Rafael Leao in the summer, according to a report.
According to Fichajes in Spain (via The Sun), the Gunners are keen on bolstering their attacking options and they are keen on landing Leao, who has 10 goals and 6 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions so far in the current campaign.
Leao is under contract at the San Siro until 2024 and there is a lot of talk that a renewal is not far away which certainly strengthens Milan’s position, given that Everton and Wolves were quoted £50m to sign him last year and he is certainly in the rise.
Newcastle are expected to make more big-money signings if they avoid relegation meanwhile given that their new owners spent big in January with the next step in their project set to be aspirations of European football.
