London managers are carefully watching Alexandre Pato and are planning to offer €27.5 million for him to the club in January.
This season, the Brazilian does not always make it into the main lineup of the Italian champions. In addition, the Milan team could be supplemented by Argentine Carlos Tevez, who would further limit the forward's time on the field.
Arsenal club would like to take advantage of this situation by assigning a spot in the starting eleven to the 22-year-old footballer. The acquisition of Pato would not only provide more options in attacking the opponents' goal but also help convince Robin van Persie to stay in London.
This season, Van Persie has already scored 16 goals in the English league, but he lacks support - other players have scored the most only 3 times.
In the Italian league, Pato has played 8 matches this season, starting in the lineup only half the time, and scoring one goal.
