Arsenal new signing could be a 12-goal midfield ace, despite Chelsea interest

After showing great potentials at Italian side Atalanta this term, midfield ace Bryan Cristante is allegedly on the radars of Premier League giants Chelsea and Arsenal ahead of the summer transfer window.

Quality midfielder want Premier League move

Cristante, 23, has netted 12 goals and made four goals in 44 matches this campaign, putting his failures at AC Milan behind him.

The starlet did break into AC Milan in the 2013/14 campaign, but he was later offloaded to Portuguese side Benfica as AC Milan decided to move one of their wonderkid on.

European football experience in the pocket

Having experienced European football this season in the UEFA Europa League, the midfielder has improved greatly and is now attracting a lot of interest from Premier League clubs.

As per a report by Sky Sports, both Chelsea and Arsenal are closely monitoring the midfielder while it’s claimed he would be willing to play in England with his agent having already held talks.

Reinforcement required

Both teams seemingly need to strengthen in the midfield, with the Blues relying on Spain international Cesc Fabregas to create from the middle alongside top holding midfielders like Danny Drinkwater, N’Golo Kante and Tiemoue Bakayoko.

As for the Gunners, with England international Jack Wilshere’s current deal still on course to run out at the conclusion of the campaign, they could be seeking to replace the midfielder very soon and Cristante may be the right option.
