Andrea Berta could soon have his hands full at Arsenal.
The Italian is already busy with incomings, with a deal for a prolific centre-forward the absolute priority for the Gunners in this window.
However, Arsenal need to move a few of their players on as well, and an offer could soon arrive on Berta’s desk for two players from the same club.
AC Milan want to sign Jakub Kiwior along with Oleksandr Zinchenko from Arsenal
Oleksandr Zinchenko’s future at Arsenal is up in the air.
The Ukraine international will enter the final year of his contract at the Emirates soon, and the expectation is that he will be sold.
We reported AC Milan’s interest in Zinchenko recently, and the Rossoneri are now eyeing a double deal from Arsenal.
Gazzetta dello Sport have revealed that an emissary very close to Igli Tare, the Milan sporting director, landed in London on Tuesday to meet with the decision makers of Arsenal.
It has been revealed that talks were held about two names — Zinchenko and fellow left-footed defender Jakub Kiwior.
The left-back is viewed as a replacement for Theo Hernandez at the San Siro, while the Pole is being considered to take Malick Thiaw’s place.
Zinchenko will definitely be sold for the right price, but it remains to be seen if Arsenal will consider offloading Kiwior too after his impressive performances at the end of last season.
Arsenal may have already identified a replacement for Zinchenko and Kiwior
Oleksandr Zinchenko’s sale in this window is almost inevitable, and it’s the right time for both parties to go their separate ways.
Selling Kiwior would be concerning because he played so well at the end of last season, and he is the only reliable backup to both Gabriel Magalhaes and William Saliba.
But, if a move does happen, it looks like Arsenal are prepared.
Reports have claimed that Arsenal have renewed their interest in Jorrel Hato, the Ajax defender who can play as a left-back as well as in the heart of the defence.
He would be a fine signing for the Gunners, especially if Kiwior and Zinchenko’s sales cover the Dutch defender’s transfer fee.
