Report: Arsenal exploring summer move for AC Milan superstar — Chelsea also keen

Arsenal are reportedly considering a move for AC Milan star Rafael Leao this summer.
 

A crucial transfer window awaits, and the club are expected to strengthen multiple positions in their bid to win major trophies.

In addition to targeting a new number nine, Arsenal are also looking to bolster their options in the wide attacking areas.

Mikel Arteta's top target for the left-wing position remains Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams, but the Gunners are understood to be exploring alternative options as well.

According to TBR Football chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, AC Milan winger Rafael Leao is among the names being considered by the club.

The 25-year-old Portugal international could leave Serie A this summer, with several European giants closely monitoring his situation.

Bailey reports that Leao's representatives are currently assessing potential summer destinations, with Arsenal and London rivals Chelsea among the interested clubs.

The Gunners believe that strengthening the left wing is just as important as signing a new striker ahead of the 2025/26 season.
