CM.it: Milan keeping an eye on Arsenal striker who is shining on loan in France

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan are on the lookout for a new striker and there is a name in the Premier League that could be a good fit, a report claims.

Calciomercato.it report that Milan are on the hunt for a young centre-forward given Divock Origi’s struggles with injury this season plus Olivier Giroud being 36 years of age and Zlatan Ibrahimovic potentially retiring next summer.

Folarin Balogun is a profile that has certainly caught the eye of Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara, given he has 10 goals in 16 games in his first real season as a for Reims, where he is on loan at from Arsenal.

He netted a braceyesterday’s match against Rennes, and it is also thanks to him that his team occupies a quiet mid-table position. Next year he will return to Arsenal, a club that focuses heavily on young players, but they are well covered in attack and the possible arrival of Mudryk only adds to that.

There is therefore the possibility of a farewell, but obviously if he continues like this the Rossoneri will have to negotiate a fee that will have risen plenty.
