The Gunners are looking to improve their attacking unit, and they could look to make a move for the Portuguese left-winger. The 25-year-old has done quite well for the Italian outfit, and he has 12 goals to his name this season. The player has picked up 13 assists along the way as well.
He could add a new dimension to the Arsenal attack. The Gunners have looked toothless in the attack at times this season, and they need to improve going forward. Signing a dynamic attacker like Leao could prove to be a wise decision. He is capable of operating anywhere across the front three, and his versatility will be a bonus.
Leao is on the radar of London rivals Chelsea as well.
Arsenal need attacking depth
Arsenal have been overly reliant on Bukayo Saka. Gabriel Martinelli has been underwhelming this season, and Brown believes that more competition for places will help Arsenal improve as a team.
"Rafael Leao is one of the players Arsenal have been looking at," he told Football Insider.
"They have been looking at him since the start of the season and potentially beyond that, because it's a position they are aware they have problems in.
"These decisions are made in the background over a period of time, they're not reactionary.
"So they've been working behind the scenes, scouting him and figuring out what it would take to sign him.
"He's very direct, quick and skilful which is exactly the type of winger they're looking for.
"He likes to go at his man, stretch teams and make a difference going forward.
"I think Arsenal have lacked that type of player this season because apart from Saka they don't have decisive players in the final third who will make a difference."
Rafael Leao could improve Arsenal
Rafael Leao in action for AC Milan
The Portuguese international certainly has the physicality and technical attributes to do well in the Premier League, and he could be a star for Arsenal.
He is entering the peak years of his career, and he will want to compete at a high level. Arsenal could provide him with the opportunity to fight for League titles and the Champions League trophy.
