AC Milan to offload Tottenham, Arsenal target to seal Bakayoko deal AC Milan will reportedly look to sell an Arsenal and Tottenham midfield target to help fund a permanent move for Tiemoue Bakayoko. Bakayoko arrived from Chelsea on a season-long loan with an option to purchase for €35million and has become a key player in Gennaro Gattuso’s midfield engine room, having initially struggled to make the transition to Serie A.

Arsenal scouts, meanwhile, were in attendance at the Stadio Friuli to watch Nicolo Barella score on Saturday, claim reports.
