AC Milan won their latest match in the league against Udinese. The win came thanks to goals to three new arrivals from the summer: Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Jovic, and Noah Okafor.
Olivier Giroud, although not scoring, still provided a very good performance and helped his team get the three points. The Rossoneri management, however, continue to look for opportunities for the future, to sign a new striker, despite the Frenchman's importance.
Milan target Joshua Zirkzee...
Possessing the qualities of a number 10 and the movements of a number 9, Joshua Zirkzee is poetry in motion, this is how Calciomercato.com described the player's profile. His performances have captivated Milan. Currently, the Dutch striker is very much appreciated by Geoffrey Moncada. His stats for the season, with 7 goals and 2 assists in 19 matches, confirm the growth of a player ready for a return to a top European club.
Arsenal and Manchester United are the competitors to beat for Milan, and negotiations with Bologna will likely start soon.
Milan's list for the attack is quite extensive and will surely see new entries in the coming months, given the scouting work across continents. Benjamin Sesko, a Slovenian striker born in 2003, is highly regarded.
To secure his transfer from Leipzig, Milan would need to pay the 50 million euros release clause, a negotiation the Germans are currently unwilling to entertain.
The name of Jonathan David is also in consideration. The 24-year-old Lille center-forward could be the easiest to acquire in terms of cost and relations with the French club, but deep reflections are ongoing to evaluate the pros and cons of a potential deal.
