Transfer report: AC Milan lead race for Arsenal and Tottenham target Mateo Musacchio

AC Milan are leading Arsenal and Tottenham in the race for Villarreal defender Mateo Musacchio.

The 26-year-old has been with the Spanish club since 2010 and he has made nearly 200 appearances in that time.

The centre-back's performances led to him being linked with Arsenal in the summer, while back in 2014 he was close to joining Tottenham before snubbing them at the last minute.

Now though, according to Tuttosport, it is Milan who are winning the chase to sign Musacchio this January.

The Italian side looked at the Argentina international in the summer but they could not meet his £20million price tag.
