According to a recent report by Tuttomercato (via the Daily Mirror), Arsenal are currently leading the chase to secure the signature of AC Milan midfielder Suso. The same source has also revealed that the imminent arrival of Monchi as the new sporting director could help the Gunners in their pursuit of the Spanish playmaker.
The Serie A prospect has featured in 30 appearances for the Italian giants this term, registering six goals while providing seven assists in multiple competitions. His brilliant contributions on the pitch has helped AC Milan climb to the 3rd spot of the Serie A table.
The Italian team are now well in contention to book a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. The Cadiz born sensation has secured four international caps for the Spanish national side but is yet to score a goal for his country so far.
Suso has gradually established himself amongst the best playmakers in the Serie A. Since joining the San Siro outfit in the summer of 2015, Suso has managed to consolidate his position in the AC Milan first-team. He has put in a string of majestic displays in midfield for Gennaro Gattuso’s side during this campaign.
The ex-Liverpool talent is an excellent dribbler with the ball at his feet and is capable of making some penetrative runs in the wide areas. The Spaniard is renowned for his playmaking ability as he can pick out a final pass in the attacking third of the pitch.
Furthermore, the Serie A wide man has a knack for scoring important goals for his team which is precisely the type of player who can benefit the Gunners heading into the new campaign.
The former Almeria talent failed to prove his worth during his time at Anfield, but he has matured a lot as a player since moving to Italy. The addition of a playmaker of Suso’s ilk will undoubtedly bolster Unai Emery’s midfield options at the Emirates Stadium. Emery is still on the lookout for a long-term replacement for Aaron Ramsey, who is set to join Juventus in the summer. Suso could be the perfect man to replace the departing Welshman.
