Sergej Milinkovic-Savic

[Fonzy Fons]

According to Belgian newspaper 'Het Belang van Limburg', we are interested in the 20 year old Serbian central midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. Other interested clubs appear to be Dortmund and even more so Lazio, who, according to Gazetta, already made a €8 million offer.

The Serbian youth international is currently playing for the Belgian side Racing Genk (who in the last few years sold Courtois, De Bruyne, Benteke), who bought them from FK Vojvodina. He's known as a powerful midfielder with a good passing range, vission, long distance shot and a big engine. He was a vital part of Serbia's winning U20's world cup team and became the tournament's bronze ball.

Always said that we need more Serbians.... They are the bastards of football.

This is a realistic target in my opinion if we want backup for Coquelien.

Never seen the guy play, but he's the right price. If he's a hidden gem he may be just what we're looking for.
This is a great goal, by the way...

Although I like us signing world class players every summer I still miss when Wenger pull some name out of nowhere and make them superstars... Waiting for our next Sagna signing.

Not interested in any young midfielder out of Belguim unless their surname is Tielemans.

Yeah, but he's Serbian.

Seems to have a shot on him, found 3 goals of his from outside the box, we'll drum that out of him if he comes here

Why u say that? We had the highest shots outside of the penalty box this season...

Agree'd! Koscielny is my favourite.

Not saying this guy is the one to go for but to me it feels like its getting more and more likely Wenger will look for more of a back up signing to Coquelin rather than a 1st teamer. A signing like this will add competition and the player himself won't moan too much about lack of game time. Makes sense.

Although, this guy seems to be Lazio bound.

If we entered the race Lazio can forget about this guy.

Where do you see he's Lazio bound?

 

[nicky47]

Just had a quick check and there's a lot of buzz around him and Lazio...
Mind you, I've checked again and there's quotes from the player himself (apparently) saying there hasn't been any contact. Haha.

 

[cannonade]

Yeah, just Googled him and saw the Lazio stuff (bid rejected) and that Arsenal and manure are considering him. One interesting piece is that Genk don't think he's ready for the top clubs and would like to sell him and then get him back on loan for a season. Don't think that would suit us at all as we need a player for this season, imo.

Who is this guy? I'll hold my hands up I know little to nothing about him but if Allegri does come as I hope he does then if this report is to be believed it sounds like this could potentially be someone we would be after.

As I said I know very little but after watching a few videos (I know they can make Walcott look world class) but this lad looks something he can play CM & ACM, would happily take him as Özil's replacement or Ramsey's. His stats also make for some impressive reading.

As I've felt for a long time now Özil's type while good to watch leaves us to vulnerable in Midfield and we always looked more solid with that 3 man midfield 433 when playing our passing game. Özil is the equivalent of playing 442 for me, and I don't feel we currently have the right CM's for that formation.

Anyone big into Italian football us a little ore about him? or opinions?
After yesterday I can't see Sanchez staying and the likelihood of Wenger leaving has hopefully increased.

 

[YeahBee]

he scored a nice goal the other day

big lad

 

[ARSNLNO1]

Yeah I noticed that, his height be be a definite asset but I don't really know enough about the player to maker an educated judgement on him

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

I like him every time I watch him with Lazio he impressed remind me of Ramsey when he used give a f**k

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

He has very nice footwork and technique.

Hopefully we sign him!

****ing unit this lad.
