The first story in this Friday’s Premier League transfer rumour round-up describes how Arsenal seems to be quite fond of Serbian midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The former Lazio player, who only moved to Saudi Arabia a few months ago, is among a number of well-known foreign players who are already being mentioned as potential Pro League exits.
In light of this, TuttoJuve indicates that the Serie A powerhouses are keeping an eye on his circumstances. However, Arsenal, who are rumored to have a “strong interest” in the player, may present a challenge. The Gunners are rumored to be able to make a “better offer” for the 28-year-old should he become available, even though a precise asking price has not yet been disclosed.
Senegalese striker Boulaye Dia is currently on the books at Salernitana in Italy. Spartak Moscow has put up a bid of about £12.8 million, but neither Dia nor his employers are particularly taken with the proposal. In fact, the 27-year-old is said to be “eager for a call” from either a big Italian team or a Premier League club, with West Ham specifically mentioned by name. The 3AM Verdict: You suspect that there is a reason why the forward is waiting for Salernitana to make an offer for him later in the transfer window.
