Report: Arsenal want AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang

Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang.

The 21-year-old, who has also previously been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain, has scored three times and provided two assists in seven Serie A appearances this season.

It is thought that the former France Under-21 international is now settled in Milan, but according to CalcioMercatoWeb.it, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger wants to bring Niang to the Premier League.

The same report claims that Wenger is hopeful of completing a deal in the January transfer window, but would be prepared to wait until next summer to acquire the powerful striker.

Niang joined Milan from Caen in 2012, but only managed one goal in his first 38 appearances for the Italian giants.
