Gunners eyeing up M’Baye Niang.
Arsenal are ready to bid for AC Milan wonderkid M’Baye Niang in January, according to the Daily Star.
Niang, 18, joined the Rossoneri from Caen in summer 2012, despite having trials at Arsenal, Tottenham and Everton.
The France under-21 international became AC’s youngster ever goalscorer when he broke into the first-team picture and also enjoyed encouraging cameos in the Italians’ run to the Champions League quarter-finals.
But his chances were seriously limited by the signing of Mario Balotelli in January and the imminent arrival of Keisuke Honda in the New Year is likely to further restrict his chances.
Arsenal are reportedly willing to pay £6m for Niang, who can operate as a central striker or from wide areas.
