AC Milan

AC Milan have once again been linked with a move for Arsenal striker Folarin Balogun as he continues to impress in France with Stade Reims.

Balogun’s future is a headache for Arsenal as he is shining with the consistent first-team football he has received in Ligue 1 but if he returns at the end of the loan he could be third choice behind Gabriel Jesus and Eddie Nketiah. The Gunners are also aware that the next window looks set to be ‘the best chance to secure a sum that could represent good value’ for an academy product. The 21 year-old is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1 having netted 14 goals for a Reims side who are in mid-table and this form has understandably attracted the interest of clubs around Europe looking for a No.9 for the future.

AC Milan is hoping the return of the mercurial Zlatan Ibrahimović will help it get over a miserable run.

While struggling, Cadiz has managed to go unbeaten in its last seven homes games, winning two and drawing five. Milan is winless in seven matches and fell to a fourth straight defeat on Sunday, against Inter Milan in the city derby. The 41-year-old Ibrahimović has not played since undergoing a knee operation in May but could be on the bench against Torino.

Torino have beaten AC Milan twice already this season, once in the Serie A and the other when they knocked them out of the Coppa Italia competition.

AC Milan have not been able to land any significant player in the winter transfer market and only signed Devis Vasquez who is a 24-year-old Colombian.

According to what is reported by Daily Mail, the Rossoneri club directors have registered interest once again in Arsenal loanee who is currently playing for Ligue 1 side Reims: [AC Milan](https://acmilan.com/) have not been able to land any significant player in the winter transfer market and only signed Devis Vasquez who is a 24-year-old Colombian. However, the club directors will want to reinforce the team in the summer transfer window, hopefully with a decent budget available for Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara.

Milan are falling of the UCL places and cannot afford to have such a big drop off financially nor from a footballing perspective.

Milan have been beaten by Torino twice already this season as Ivan Juric handed Stefano Pioli his first loss of the season in the league 2-1 on the road and his side knocked Milan out of the Coppa Italia 1-0 after extra time last month. Milan have not found their sweet spot this season as the midfield is constantly overpowered and the defence is easily beaten on the counter while the attack falters. The manager is switching things up again to a 3-4-3 from the 3-5-2 last week and our usual 4-2-3-1.

He is one of the most in-form players on Arsenal's books but his future with the Premier League leaders is far from certain.

Torino will target a historic victory at the San Siro amid AC Milan's maligned run of results.

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made four changes to his starting line-up for the game to face Torino compared to the one that lost to Inter.

Rade Krunic and Sandro Tonali will be the midfield double pivot with Ismael Bennacer still injured, and the front three sees Brahim Diaz come in accompanied by Rafael Leao on the other flank and Olivier Giroud up front. Pioli has chosen to slightly tweak the 3-5-2 formation that he used against the Nerazzurri last weekend and move to a 3-4-3 system, with a double pivot instead of a midfield three and a trio of forwards instead. Alexis Saelemaekers and Theo Hernandez have been named as the right and left wing-backs, with captain Davide Calabria therefore dropping to the bench.
