The striker Joshua Zirkzee, who has been linked to both Manchester United and Arsenal, has become AC Milan’s main summer transfer target.
The Dutch forward has scored nine goals in 24 Serie A games this season as he has blossomed at Bologna.
Several Premier League teams are expressing interest in the 22-year-old player due to his noteworthy performances. Arsenal and Manchester United are currently leading the pursuit, keeping a close eye on the striker.
Now, AC Milan, a prominent Italian team, has joined the competition to secure the services of this impressive striker. They have identified him as their top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window as they aim to bolster their attacking options.
According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, a reputable Italian sports daily (via MilanNews.it), the striker is the Rossoneri’s primary target for the summer.
AC Milan is actively searching for a striker who can potentially succeed the aging Olivier Giroud in the long run. The club is actively scouting several young forwards, and Zirkzee has currently emerged as their top choice.
RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko is another forward catching the attention of the Milan giants as they prepare for the summer transfer window.
Whether AC Milan can effectively compete with Arsenal or Manchester United depends on the Premier League teams’ level of engagement and the offers they present for the striker. Financially, the Premier League clubs are in a stronger position to outbid Milan in the race for the former Bayern Munich player.
Arsenal is actively seeking offensive reinforcements following underwhelming seasons from Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. Both strikers have struggled to make a significant impact at the Emirates Stadium this season, leading to the consensus that Mikel Arteta’s team is just a top-notch number nine away from contending for the Premier League title.
On the other hand, Manchester United is in search of a player who can contribute to goal-scoring alongside Rasmus Hojlund and fill the void left by the departing Anthony Martial.
