Loading...express.co.uk, Ben Jefferson – LONDON, ARSENAL are in a battle with AC Milan to sign Iranian star Sardar Azmoun with talks scheduled with Rubin Kazan next week.
The 19-year-old has been dubbed the Iranian Messi such is his promise and it seems that Azmoun’s talents have not escaped the attention of Arsene Wenger.
Speaking to Russian television show 90, Azmoun said: “There already are solid offers coming from both Arsenal and AC Milan.
“Both their representatives are about to meet Rubin Kazan management next Thursday.
“I’m really happy for such clubs being interested in signing me, and playing in Premier League would be a dream coming true.
“But now I’m just focused on the remaining part of Russian championship.”
Azmoun only joined Rubin from Iranian side Sepahan in January last year, but it seems that he could be set for a big move to England or Italy after impressing in limited appearances this season.
Reports suggest that Rubin are prepared to let Azmoun leave for a figure in the region of £2m.
