Arsenal will face competition in the race to sign Jerome Boateng in the summer.

The veteran German is out of contract at Bayern Munich and will almost certainly depart on a free transfer.

He has been struggling with injuries and form issues over the past few years, but is still top class on his day.

According to Milan Live, AC Milan are interested in bringing him to Italy.

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta wants him to sign for Arsenal in the summer.

The Gunners may also have to compete with Chelsea, who are also interested in Boateng as a squad option.
