AC Milan plan move for Arsenal striker

AC Milan are interested in highly rated Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun. The-year-old becomes a free agent.

AC Milan are looking in England to strengthen their attack. The Rossoneri management plan to sign English young striker Folarin Balogun. The Arsenal starlet becomes a free agent at the end of the season after refusing to renew his contract with the London club. The Rossoneri are always very attentive on talented youngsters and will offer Balogun a long-term contract.

AC Milan’s interest in Folarin Balogun is not something new but according to reports from Spain contacts have been frequent recently. Fichajes.net reports that AC Milan want to focus on the talented English striker for the future. The Rossoneri are a squad when young players have the chance to make their breakthrough.

Balogun has been a regular scored for Arsenal U-23 and this season coach Arteta has given him space in Europa League. The 19-year-old centre forward has scored 2 goals and provided one assists in 4 appearances for a total of 61 minutes. Very promising numbers.

That’s why Arsenal haven’t yet given up on Balogun. The Gunners will make one last attempt for the highly-rated forward. Coach Mikel Arteta confirmed he will try to keep the academy product at Arsenal and fend off interest from AC Milan and Red Bull Leipzig.

Folarin Balogun is not the only free agent on AC Milan’s radar. The Rossoneri are also in negotiations with Marseille star Thauvin. As promised, Paolo Maldini is paying great interest to the opportunities that the summer mercato is offering.
