Arsenal are leading the race for Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic.

Chelsea and Manchester United have both been keen on signing him.

However, we reported earlier this month how Arsenal are now his most likely destination with Mikel Arteta's side looking to win the race for him.

Lazio's club president Claudio Lotito has been vocal about his wish to keep Milinkovic-Savic and has been consistent about saying how highly valued he is at the Rome club.

However, the 27-year-old is now entering the final 18 months of his contract in the Italian capital.

Il Corriere dello Sport says Lazio do not want to risk losing Milinkovic-Savic for nothing, which could lead to them cashing in come January.
