Stephan El Shaarawy "gratified by Arsenal's interest"

AC Milan forward Stephan El Shaarawy has hinted that he would be interested in a move to Arsenal at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old is currently on the sidelines with a broken foot, but is on course to return to action in the next couple of weeks.

The Italian has only scored once for Milan this term, but there is still said to be a lot of interest in the pacey attacker.

"I am gratified by Arsenal's interest, certainly, but my objective is to come back for Milan and do well at Milan," the forward told reporters in Italy.

Milan currently sit 10th in Serie A, 26 points behind league leaders Juventus.
