Arsenal have been linked with a number of exciting potential attacking additions in recent times.
Arsenal have scouted Takefusa Kubo in recent times, while Leroy Sane is reportedly an Arsenal target.
The Gunners are clearly on the lookout for a new winger, and according to Steve Kay, speaking on KS1 TV, the Gunners could go for one of Serie A’s top talents.
Indeed, according to Kay, Arsenal are interested in signing Rafael Leao, and he’s been told by a very good source that a move could be on the cards this summer.
Kay says that Leao is currently focusing on his performances for AC Milan, but a move to Arsenal could be on the cards next year.

Rafael Leao could join Arsenal
Kay shared what he’s been told about Leao and Arsenal.
Leao was valued at £150m in the summer, and Arsenal could look at bringing the attacker in.
“It’s pretty much that. There are starting to be a few feelers and some things going around that he could leave. A few teams are putting the feelers out and I’ve heard one of those is Arsenal,” Kay said.
“It is something that could happen in the summer, but he’s concentrating on AC Milan for the rest of the season. This is something that has come from a really good source, he’s predominantly left wing, so what that means for the futures of Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard, who knows?
“Talks are planned to continue in the summer, so he’s someone we could bring in then.”
Rafael Leao stats this season
Rafael Leao has been one of the most exciting players in Europe in recent years.
Indeed, Leao was vital to AC Milan’s Serie A win in 2021-22, but, so far this season, he hasn’t been all that brilliant.
Leao hasn’t been bad by any stretch of the imagination, but when you look at his stats, they aren’t that impressive this season.

Of course, Leao, at his best, is an almost unstoppable attacking force. After all, he’s incredibly strong and incredibly fast.
Antonio Conte has previously praised Leao as a player, and if he can rediscover his best form, Arsenal will have a serious weapon on their hands.
Whether or not this move ends up going through or not remains to be seen, but Kay says this is from a very good source, so this is certainly a situation to keep an eye on.
