However, La Liga and Serie A insider Matteo Moretto insists that despite Arsenal s strong relationship with Zirkzee s agent, Kia Joorabchian, Serie A giants AC Milan are currently leading the race for the former Netherlands Under-21 international, .
Moretto wrote in his Caught Offside column: In terms of Joshua Zirkzee, he remains the number one target for Milan, there are frequent contacts, and it is not something that started in February and has gone quiet, they are working on it. That is the one concrete interest that we have in terms of Zirkzee, and as it stands, they have to be leading the race.
Currently Milan are focused on sorting out the managerial situation, but Zirkzee is their top target, and the contacts are regular. In Italy, Inter and Juventus have been linked by other outlets, but it is Milan who have made movements. Zirkzee is very, very attracted by Milan, they have history, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and a project for him.
With the Arsenal links, basically Zirkzee s agent Kia Joorabchian has a very strong relationship with Arsenal, so no doubt, there have been talks about him. But so far, it hasn t gone beyond that.
