"Leao's numbers this season aren't exactly spectacular, with eight goals and two assists in Serie A so far, but they also don't tell the whole story. Previously described as having Ronaldinho-vibes by Owen Hargreaves via TNT Sports, Leao is an entertaining player with great skill and flair who could give Mikel Arteta's side a new dimension in attack. Leandro Trossard is not getting any younger, while Gabriel Martinelli has been a tad inconsistent again this season,"
"Man United also need Rafael Leao United's interest in Leao also makes sense, with the 26-year-old perhaps a better option than Matheus Cunha in the club's front three. Bryan Mbeumo has performed well since joining MUFC from Brentford last summer, but Cunha's role has been less clear, and perhaps a more out-and-out wide player is needed. If United could beat Arsenal to Leao then that would be great business, though for now it perhaps seems that a move to the Emirates Stadium is more likely."
Arsenal have held initial talks about signing AC Milan forward Rafael Leao ahead of the summer as part of a potential 80m deal. Leao is a long-term target for Arsenal and has also attracted interest from Manchester United. AFC chief Andrea Berta reportedly met face-to-face with Leao's representatives. Leao has eight goals and two assists in Serie A this season but is praised for skill and flair and compared to Ronaldinho. Leao could upgrade Arsenal's left side given Leandro Trossard's age and Gabriel Martinelli's inconsistency. Manchester United view Leao as a possible improvement over Matheus Cunha.
