Arsenal and Juventus 'are boosted in their pursuit of Lazio captain Sergej Milinkovic-Savic - with Serie A side set to lower their £88m asking price to £44m as he approaches the final year of his contract at the Stadio Olimpico'

Arsenal are ready to move for Lazio captain Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, according to reports.

The Gunners have been on the hunt for a midfielder to support Thomas Partey for an extended period of time, bringing in Jorginho from Chelsea as a short-term solution in January.

The club saw several bids for Brighton's Moises Caicedo rejected in the window, before he signed a new contract at the club.

Despite Jorginho's arrival, Mikel Arteta's side remain keen to sign another midfielder with a player set to join in the summer.

According to Sport Witness, the Gunners are set to step up negotiations for Milinkovic-Savic, with the Serbian set to be available for a cut-price fee.
