Arsenal are keeping tabs on Andre Silva's situation at AC Milan.

The Sun says Silva was a major transfer target for the Gunners during the summer window, but they missed out when the big-spending Rossoneri made him their record signing at £33million.

However, the Italian side's poor start to the season — which has seen them lose half of their league games so far — means they are in serious danger of missing out on Champions League qualification in the summer, which had been the minimum expectation set by the new owners.

Arsenal are expecting to lose Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil in 2018, and Silva, 21 would be a ready-made replacement for either.
