CM: Premier League side ahead of Milan in race to sign Salzburg forward

By Euan Burns -

Premier League side Arsenal are currently looking more likely to sign Noah Okafor from RB Salzburg than AC Milan are, a report claims.

As has been reported by Calciomercato.com, which cites sources in the English press, Okafor is a more serious target for Arsenal than he is for the Rossoneri right now.

The Premier League side are preparing for the possibility of Gabriel Jesus leaving the club after one season and have therefore sounded Okafor as a possible smart signing.

The Swiss forward has impressed both domestically and in the Champions League this season and Milan may push more to sign him if he puts in a good display on Wednesday night at San Siro.

Milan need to draw with Salzburg or beat them in order to secure a place in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. A win for Salzburg will see them take the place instead, sending Milan into the Europa League.
