Zirkzee’s agent pushing for Arsenal but the Dutchman wants Italian stay

AC Milan and Joshua Zirkzee have been intertwined with rumours over the past few months, and ahead of the summer mercato, there is a desire from the Rossoneri to secure him. 

This summer was always going to be highlighted by the investment in a striker, and that was known before January, even if reports suggested that a move may be fast-tracked to the mid-way point. However, Luka Jovic’s exceptional winter form made Milan opt for a summer transfer.

The desire to add a striker was deepened with Olivier Giroud’s departure. Given the Frenchman has been the man to break the Rossoneri’s No.9 curse, there is now a need to find someone who can improve on Giroud’s record, as difficult as that may be.

Few names have remained consistently linked to the position, and one of those is Joshua Zirkzee. The Dutchman has had an incredible season with Bologna and has several suitors who will pursue him this summer, but his destination has not been decided yet.
