ARSENAL AND SERGEJ MILINKOVIC SAVIC TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are leading the race for the signature of Sergej Milinkovic Savic. A report also claims that the Gunners tried to sign him in the last summer and January transfer window. However, the Serbian midfielder rejected the approaches in a hope of the contract extension offer from Lazio. Although, since then, Lazio have made very low extension offers to the midfielder.
Therefore, the Serbian midfielder is now open to a move to Arsenal. He is also keeping a close eye on the style of play under Mikel Arteta. He thinks that he can help this young team of players. However, Lazio are going to try their best to get good money from his sale. They are asking a fee of 50 million for the Serbian midfielder.

FORMER GUNNERS PLAYER AND CURRENT PUNDIT ALREADY IS IN LOVE WITH THE SERBIAN MIDFIELDER
Former Arsenal star player and current pundit Paul Merson has already praised Sergej Milinkovic Savic. He has also called him one of the best midfielders in Italy. The former Gunners star has also said that Savic would perfectly fit the style of Mikel Arteta. Hence, the Gunners must go all in on the signing of the Serbian midfielder.
The Arsenal legend further said, “Leicester’s Tielemans would tick the box for Arsenal. He’d be a decent alternative. But Sergej Milinkovic-Savic is the player I would go for. “If Arsenal get either of those two, they have had a major window. Now more than ever, Arsenal need a top-class midfielder to compete with the best. And I think Savic is a lovely player. A really top-drawer player. The way he played for Lazio last season I personally think he is the best midfield player in Italy.
Arsenal would also love a midfielder like Sergej Milinkovic Savic. Savic is someone that can defend and attack for the team. He also gives more than 100% for his current team Lazio despite his contract situation. Hence, this also explains never give -up attitude for his club.
