Arsenal are interested in signing Real Madrid’s Brahim Diaz for their manager Mikel Arteta in the summer, according to FourFourTwo.

Diaz is presently in the third year of his loan spell with Serie A giants AC Milan.

The 23-year-old has made 31 appearances for AC Milan so far this season, scoring five goals and registering two assists.

The Spaniard has played 110 matches for the Rossoneri in total, scoring a total of 16 goals and registering ten assists for the club.

It is believed that Milan are working on activating his €22m buy clause in the summer to make his move to San Siro permanent.

However, the Serie A champions might need to fend off interest from Premier League leaders Arsenal as Arteta is eager to build a team that can challenge in the UEFA Champions League next season.
