Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are interested in signing Sergej Milinkovic-Savic from Lazio in the summer transfer window, according to Corriere dello Sport.
The Italian publication has claimed that Arsenal have tried to sign Milinkovic-Savic in the past and are back in the hunt for the Lazio midfielder.

Arsenal are willing to pay €50 million (£42.70 million) for the 27-year-old Serbia international midfielder and could even be ready to bid €60 million (£51.24m) for Milinkovic-Savic, according to the report.
However, according to Corriere dello Sport, Lazio president Claudio Lotito wants as much as €65 million (£55.51m) for the 27-year-old.
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic would make Arsenal better
In our view, Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic would make Arsenal better and would be a good signing for Mikel Arteta’s side.
The 27-year-old Serbia international has been at Lazio since 2015 and has established himself as one of the best midfielders in Serie A, and has been so impressive that he is said to be better than former Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba, who is leaving Manchester United this summer.
Former Chelsea striker Mateja Kezman told Mozzart Sport.in March 2018 that Milinkovic-Savic “has some different qualities that are better than Pogba”.
Milinkovic-Savic made 36 starts and one substitute appearance in Serie A for Lazio this past season.
The Serbian scored 11 goals and gave 11 assists in those matches.
