Arsenal have made an offer for one of their former midfielders, while Manchester United continue to look at Cristiano Ronaldo replacements…
GUNNERS WANT THEIR FORMER MIDFIELDER
Premier League side Arsenal are preparing an offer for AC Milan midfielder Ismael Bennacer this summer, according to reports.
The Algeria international, who came through the youth ranks in north London, made one senior appearance for the Gunners before leaving to join Empoli in 2017.

The 37-year-old is United’s only recognised centre-forward available with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial playing mainly in wider roles for the Red Devils.
Dybala left Juventus on the expiry of his contract last week and there are a number of clubs interested in his services with Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio insisting Man Utd are one of those sides.
