Arsenal have reignited their interest in Lazio midfielder Sergej Milinković-Savić

Milinkovic-Savic had a strong season in Italian football, putting in numerous key performances at the heart of Lazio’s midfield. Last season, the 27-year-old scored 11 goals and added 12 assists in 47 games for the Italian side across several tournaments.

After averaging 1.8 tackles, 0.9 interceptions, 1.1 clearances, 2.0 shots, 1.4 crucial passes, and 1.2 dribbles per 90 minutes in Serie A, the Lleida native has been a beneficial effect on both sides of the field. Based on his pass success percentage of 81.4 percent in the Italian top flight, he has even been precise with his ball distribution.

Milinkovic-Savic knows how to timing his tackles to get the ball back for his team in the middle of the field. He can provide solid defensive coverage for his teammates and isn’t afraid to clear his lines when necessary.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal midfield will benefit from the addition of Milinkovic-Savic. If the Gunners can bring him in during the summer transfer window, he has the potential to become a top performer at the Emirates Stadium.

Arteta can expect to make the most of the Serbian sensation’s services in the following seasons, as his finest years are still ahead of him. He might also assist the North London team finish in the Premier League’s top four next season.
