Arsenal face competition from unlikely source for struggling striker

Arsenal are set to face competition from Wolves for the signing of AC Milan striker Andre Silva if the Championship club gain promotion to the Premier League this season, according to the Mirror.

Milan signed the player for £34 million last summer but he has found it tough to make much of an impact since coming in and the club are keen to move the player on.

He has scored just one goal in Serie A this season and played on Thursday against Arsenal as his side were eliminated from the Europa League.

Academy graduate Patrick Cutrone has moved ahead of Silva in the pecking order at Milan, making game time hard to come by in Serie A.

Wolves have been working closely with Jorge Mendes, boosting their chances of securing a deal if the club are playing Premier League football next season.

The Championship side’s manager Nuno Espirito Santo has worked with Silva previously and this could affect where Silva is playing next season.
