Arsenal 'face AC Milan challenge' in the race for Real Madrid star Marco Asensio as Serie A champions 'contact Carlo Ancelotti' to enquire about the Spanish international

Serie A champions AC Milan are reportedly keen to recruit Real Madrid playmaker Marco Asensio, who was linked with a potential move to Arsenal on Sunday.

The 26-year-old is soon to enter the final 12 months of his Real Madrid contract and has yet to finalise a new deal in the Spanish capital.

The Champions League winners may decide this summer is the opportune time to sell him, as several clubs have reportedly declared interest in his services.
