AC Milan have reportedly overtaken their competitors in the hunt for Fiorentina midfielder Jordan Veretout and could quickly get a summer deal over the line.
Veretout’s displays for Fiorentina over the course of the campaign have made the player a man in demand in the summer transfer market.
Arsenal, AS Roma and Napoli have been strongly connected with the Frenchman in the latest days, though Veretout’s entourage insists that Viola’s lack of a sporting director has been holding up matters.
Rossoneri however have hit the accelerator and overtaken the stiff competition for Jordan, according to an Italian broadcaster Sportitalia.
They are desperate to sign the former Aston Villa player and are rated as having a realistic chance of landing the player soon.
The Milan-based outfit are targeting a host of stars as they bid to quickly reinforce their roster.
Sampdoria duo Dennis Praet and Joachim Andersen, two further players on Arsenal’s transfer radar, are also wanted by the Rossoneri.
But all eyes will be on whether they can quickly force a deal for Jordan over the line, making a statement by beating off several sides for his signature.
Meanwhile, Arsenal are reportedly pressing ahead with the landing of Dynamo Dresden shot-stopper Markus Schubert.
The retirement of Petr Cech has left Gunners’ short of backup for Bernd Leno, although there have been talks that coach Unai Emery may promote Emiliano Martinez after several loan periods away from the Emirates Stadium.
However, The Independent is reporting that Arsenal are close to finalising a deal for German stopper Schubert.
