AC Milan have made contact with Arsenal over a potential move for Ethan Nwaneri as the Serie A club step up their search for an attacking midfielder this summer.
According to Corriere dello Sport , the Rossoneri have enquired about the 19-year-old England youth international, who is among several creative left-footed players being considered by head coach Ruben Amorim and the club’s recruitment team.
While no formal negotiations have begun, Milan are understood to have sounded out Arsenal over Nwaneri’s availability as they assess options to strengthen their attacking ranks ahead of the new season.
Arsenal are yet to make a final decision on the teenager’s future. The report claims the Gunners are weighing up whether to keep Nwaneri in Mikel Arteta’s first-team squad or sanction a move that would guarantee him more regular playing time.

Any deal is unlikely to come cheaply. Arsenal are said to value the attacking midfielder at no less than €35 million, reflecting both his potential and the growing interest from across Europe.
Milan are not alone in the race. Premier League sides Fulham and Everton have also been credited with interest, while Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig are reportedly monitoring the youngster’s situation.
One option being explored could involve Milan signing Nwaneri while granting Arsenal a buy-back clause, a structure the Italian club believe could appeal to the Premier League side if they decide the player would benefit from a permanent move.
Nwaneri remains one of English football’s brightest young prospects despite a difficult loan spell at Marseille last season , where he made 11 appearances and registered two goals and one assist. The campaign followed a breakthrough year at Arsenal, during which he scored nine goals in 37 appearances across all competitions.
For now, Milan’s interest is limited to initial enquiries, but the Italian giants appear keen to position themselves should Arsenal decide to listen to offers for one of their most highly regarded academy graduates.
