Arsenal-linked winger drops Milan hint: ‘Why not?’ | OneFootball

Lille winger Edon Zhegrova admits he likes Italian football and Milan and refuses to rule out a Serie A transfer.

Lille and Kosovo talent Zhegrova is open to moving to Serie A and would be particularly interested in joining Milan.

“I like Italian football, and I always follow your top clubs. I watch Juventus and Milan games, and there are many Juventus, Inter and Milan fans in Kosovo,” the 22-year-old told Gianlucadimarzio.

When asked whether he could move to Serie A one day, he replied: “Why not? I like Milan so much, I like Milan.”

Zhegrova was linked with a move to Arsenal last summer but eventually remained at Lille, where his contract expires in June 2026.

The versatile winger has seven goals and two assists in 16 appearances across all competitions this season.

He provided one assist for Jonathan David in a Champions League game against Juventus earlier this week, but the Old Lady bounced back thanks to a Dusan Vlahovic goal from the spot in the second half.

Zhegrova joined Lille in a €7m deal from Swiss side Basel in the 2022 January transfer window.

He made his senior Kosovo debut in 2018 and has four goals in 34 international appearances.
