There's been growing speculation that the Leafs are going to be both buying and selling ahead of this season's deadline, and Jarnkrok, a pending unrestricted free agent, is turning into a prime trade candidate. The 34-year-old Jarnkrok is owed $2.1 million this season and owns a 10-team no-trade clause in the final year of his contract. He's been in and out of the lineup so far this season, producing just six goals and one assist for seven points in 37 appearances.
AC Milan have been offered the chance to sign Federico Chiesa from Liverpool, but there is an obstacle and other teams are in the race. Milan have already signed one forward in the winter window as Niclas Füllkrug arrived from West Ham United on loan with an option to buy. Amid the talk that Christopher Nkunku is a serious target for Fenerbahce, there might yet be the need to sign another.
