Arsenal Finally Make Contact To Sign January Target
Arsenal have made inquiries about the possibility of signing AC Milan midfielder Frank Kessie this month via the publication from Metro.
The Gunners were interested in the Ivorian international under the managerial reign of legendary boss Arsene Wenger and it seems like the North Londoners have resurrected their interest in the player who has been one of the shining lights for an AC Milan team struggling in 10th position on the Italian Serie A table.
Corriere dello Sport is a popular Italian transfer news platform and a publication from the publication said that Frank Kessie is available for £21m amidst the interest from another London club in West Ham United.

New West Ham United manager David Moyes wants to strengthen his squad in midfield before this winter transfer market ends and Frank Kessie is on his radar.
For Arsenal, the club is focusing on the loan market as confirmed by manager Mikel Arteta in one of his recent interviews.
Also, the focus is more on the defense rather than midfield at the moment.
Arsenal and Mikel Arteta have been linked with a loan swoop for Manchester City defender John Stones who is keen to move away from the Premier League champions in search of regular first-team football that will boost his opportunity to make the England team for the Euros.
Spanish La Liga outfit Sevilla are in talks to sign AC Milan winger Suso according to popular Italian transfer news specialist CalcioMercato.
AC Milan winger Suso is a Spanish international and he previously played in the Premier League with Liverpool.
He was one of the best players at AC Milan last season but the Spaniard has failed to reach that height for this campaign in his 18 games for the Rossoneri this term.
Sevilla are in talks to either sign him on loan with the obligation to buy him on a permanent transfer this summer after he has completed his loan spell or sign the player on loan with the option to sign him in the summer when his loan period at the Ramon Pizjuan Sanchez Stadium expires.

Arsenal are on the hunt for a new manager after the sacking of Unai Emery on Friday morning.
Unai Emery has been replaced by club legend Freddie Ljungberg on a temporary basis until a permanent appointment is made.
Former Arsenal winger Ljungberg will take charge of the team for the Norwich City match in the Premier League this Sunday.

Crystal Palace are in pole position to sign Italian international Borini.

It was further revealed that a second meeting will hold between both parties to see if an agreement will be reached as the Gunners search for a replacement for Unai Emery who is facing the sack after the recent poor run by his team.
