Arsenal’s coffers are set to be swelled by €4.8 million after AC Milan finally confirmed the signing of Ismael Bennacer from Empoli.

The Algeria international is believed to have moved to the San Siro in a deal worth €16 million and the Gunners will benefit thanks to a 30% sell-on clause.

The 21-year-old, who has signed a five-year deal, was recently voted the best player at the African Cup of Nations which his country won.

Arsene Wenger signed Bennacer from French side Arles in 2015 but he only played 71 minutes for the first team before he was sold in 2017.
