Joshua Zirkzee, a striker who has drawn interest from both Manchester United and Arsenal, has caught the attention of AC Milan as their primary target for the upcoming summer transfer window.
With nine goals in 24 Serie A appearances for Bologna this season, the 22-year-old Dutch attacker has showcased his burgeoning talent on the field, attracting attention from several Premier League clubs.
While Manchester United and Arsenal have been closely monitoring Zirkzee’s progress, AC Milan has now joined the race to secure his signature, making him their top priority for the summer transfer window.
According to reports from Gazzetta dello Sport, the Italian giants view Zirkzee as the ideal candidate to potentially succeed the aging Olivier Giroud and bolster their attacking options for the long term.
As AC Milan continues their search for young and promising forwards, Zirkzee has emerged as their top target, with the club actively scouting him in preparation for the upcoming transfer window.
Another forward the Milan giants are keeping a close eye on before the summer is Benjamin Sesko of RB Leipzig.
It remains to be seen if AC Milan can actually compete with Arsenal or Manchester United if the Premier League teams pick up their game and make an offer for the striker.
The Premier League clubs are better equipped financially to beat Milan to sign the former Bayern Munich player.
Arsenal are looking to add firepower upfront after unimpressive seasons from Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. Both the strikers have failed to make a huge impact at the Emirates Stadium this season and the general consensus is that Mikel Arteta’s team is just a top number nine away from winning the Premier League title.
As for Man United, they need someone who can share the load of goal scoring with Rasmus Hojlund and replace the outgoing Anthony Martial.
