Milan forward Alphadjo Cisse is attracting interest from the Premier League, as Arsenal reportedly pursued him after Brighton and Hove Albion, with others focused on the €60m talent.

The versatile figure just celebrated his 20^th birthday and is having a remarkable debut top flight campaign, scoring five goals in nine Serie A appearances, plus three in only four Europa League matches.

Premier League clubs eager for Cisse

There had already been suggestions from Fabrizio Romano’s Italian-language YouTube Channel earlier this week that Brighton and Hove Albion had made a verbal approach for the player.

However, Milan turned it down outright, confident that Cisse will keep going from strength to strength, especially after receiving his first senior Italy call-up for the Nations League.

Now Tuttomercatoweb claim that Arsenal are among several other Premier League sides who have also set their sights on the Italian talent.

It is pushing the price tag higher and higher, already hitting circa €60m just a few months into his first top flight campaign.

A product of the Hellas Verona youth academy, he was sold to Milan in February 2026 for €8.4m, but remained on loan in Serie B with Catanzaro to continue his development last season.
