Arsenal and Chelsea are being linked with a move for the Atalanta midfielder Bryan Cristante.
The 23-year-old is enjoying a very good season in central midfield and is attracting serious interest from Premier League heavyweights.
Sky Sports claim the player's representatives met with both London clubs a couple of weeks ago. However, no deal was concluded.
Cristante is an AC Milan youth product, but he has spent the past two season at Atalanta. It is this season where he broke into the first team as a regular.
