Charles De Ketelaere has been linked with Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Jesse Marsch’s Leeds United, but it seems that the Everton summer transfer target wants to move to AC Milan instead.

Leeds and Arsenal target De Ketelaere agrees personal terms with AC Milan

Belgian outlet HLN reported this week that Leeds have made an offer for Club Brugge forward De Ketelaere, who is wanted by AC Milan as well and prefers a move to the Italian champions.

Italian outlet CMW reported this week that Arsenal and Lyon are keen on the 21-year-old forward, while Southampton have also been linked.

We have also covered here on HITC Sport interest from Frank Lampard’s Everton in the Belgium international attacker.

90min have now reported that De Ketelaere has agreed personal terms with Milan, who are ready to increase their initial offer to €30 million (£25.40m), but Club Brugge want €35 million (£30m).

It remains to be seen if Milan match Club Brugge’s asking price, but the Belgian himself is ready to make the move to San Siro.

De Ketelaere scored 14 goals in the Jupiler Pro League for Club Brugge last season.

Milan won the Serie A title last season, while Arsenal failed to finish in the Premier League top four and Leeds narrowly avoided relegation to the Championship.
