Arsenal are set to face stiff competition from Premier League rivals Leicester City for AC Milan midfielder Manuel Locatelli.
The Foxes have led the Premier League title race for the majority of the season and the north London side have all but lost hope against Claudio Ranieri’s side – and it now appears that they could steal away the 18-year-old.
The Gunners were linked with Locatelli last week amid news that he had been scouted by the club but now according to the Mirror, Leicester have entered the race for the Italian youth starlet.
With Leicester proving such tough contenders in the league, it’s extremely viable that Locatelli could choose to move to Ranieri’s side over the north Londoners, with their place in next season’s UEFA Champions League already confirmed after a stellar, yet surprising campaign.
There is no word on the price Locatelli will cost to prise him away from Milan but with the player boasting such great potential, he could be worth stumping up a fee for.
