Since the transfer window opened, every Arsenal fan has been calling for Mikel Arteta to buy another midfielder as either an upgrade on the ageing Granit Xhaka and cover for the often injured Thomas Partey.
Everyone thought that Youri Tielemans was Arteta’s number one target but that is now looking increasingly unlikely as time goes on, but today it is being reported in Italy that the Gunners have entered into talks over the highly-talented Italian international Sandro Tonali.
The Italian journalist Enrico Camelio has revealed on CalcioMercato.it: “Milan and Arsenal met and talked about Tonali.
“The Rossoneri have declared that the midfielder is not transferable, but if a proposal for €55 million (£46.4m) arrives, Milan could sell him and make two purchases”.
Despite being only 22 years old Tonali has already made 11 appearances for his country at senior level, and played 45 games for AC Milan as the won the Serie A trophy, scoring 5 goals along the way.
There is no doubt that Tonali meets Arteta and Edu’s profile of young, extremely promising individuals that have already got extensive experience from a young age and is already a proven trophy winner.
It certainly wouldn’t surprise me if the Gunners pulled this surprise name out of the hat and for the price of £46million, he could be a very shrewd investment if he carries on improving as he is.

That’s too expensive,hopefully we can afford it but i’m shot down of any hope already as we simply can’t pay their asking price.
What’s happening admin?nice graphic though a lot better than the previous ones.it’s just as if you knew what colour i like.lol
Hello, arteta is doing incredible job here. Tonali is a great player which the fans are hungry to welcome
Total BS like 99% of the news coming from Italy.
Agree, there is so much BS with players being linked etc.
However, this is something that there may be more to, as he seems to be the perfect profile to fit our into transfer strategy.
Believe me tonali is a massive upgrade to what we have in our midfield. Combative and mobile and vision for pass.
I think the real target is still Tielemans
They are just throwing a few names around so we do not look desperate.
A young Italian international leaving the Serie A champions who are playing in the CL to join us in the Europa, please tell me another story! It’s another Locatelli nightmare loading. The earlier it’s shot down, the better for our collective blood pressure
Though unlikely, my instinct is not to rule this rumour out just yet. Time will tell but either way, I remain certain that Tielemans will not be coming to us.
Tielamans still ticks the best his used to this robust primier League.
