According to the Express, Arsenal have entered the transfer race for the Polish star along with a myriad of football giants. Per the source Liverpool, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Juventus, Leicester City, Everton, Marseille, Bayern Munich and Lazio are all in the mix for the Ajax star.

Milik has 16 goals in Eredivisie this season, tied for third in the league. Last season while on loan to the club he scored 11 goals 21 appearances and 23 total goals.
