Arsenal are braced for another setback in the transfer market after target Joachim Andersen talked up a move to AC Milan.

The Gunners have been plotting a £37million double raid on Sampdoria duo Andersen and Dennis Praet.

But the 23-year-old has revealed his affection for Milan in a recent interview.

He told EkstraBladet: "I haven't read much in media about Giampaolo leaving, but I'm happy for him.

"I'm also a little disappointed as he's leaving. If I dream of joining him? I can't respond to that and I don't know my future, but Milan is a great club."
