AC Milan appointed Ruben Amorim after missing out on Champions League qualification.
Since then, the Rossoneri have moved quickly in the transfer market by signing Goncalo Ramos, Mario Gila and Sankhoun Diawara, while also extending Luka Modric’s contract.
However, Milan are still searching for more young talent. The club want to add greater creativity and technical quality as Amorim continues building his long-term project.
Arsenal youngster Ethan Nwaneri has now emerged as one of their leading targets. Several clubs are monitoring his situation.
Nwaneri remains one of Arsenal‘s most highly rated academy graduates, but his long-term future is uncertain after limited first-team opportunities and a mixed loan spell at Marseille.
According to Matteo Moretto (on YouTube), AC Milan have already made contact over a move for Nwaneri. Milan are making enquiries to understand the midfielder’s situation.
Amorim views the 19-year-old as a player with outstanding technical ability who fits the club’s recruitment strategy. However, competition for his signature is growing.
RB Leipzig are interested in the Arsenal youngster, while Fulham and Everton are also closely monitoring developments.
Those clubs are all exploring the possibility of signing Nwaneri this summer. Moreover, Arsenal are reportedly open to discussing his departure.
Moretto states that a permanent transfer would be the preferred option if the Gunners decide to let the midfielder leave. Interest in the teenager is not new.
Como previously explored several options, including a loan with an option to buy and a permanent transfer.
However, their pursuit came before the Italian club completed the return of Nico Paz from Real Madrid. Whether Como remain interested is now unclear.
For the moment, AC Milan appear to be leading the race, but Amorim faces strong competition as several clubs continue tracking one of Arsenal’s most promising young players.
