'Ivan Gazidis masterclass' - Arsenal fans mock Jeff Hendrick transfer links to AC Milan

There's no doubt that AC Milan have been home to some absolute legends.

Paolo Maldini, Cafu, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Marco van Basten, Frank Rijkaard - the list could go on.

The Italian club may not have had its historic success in recent years but they remain one of European football's giants.

The Rossoneri lie seventh in Serie A ahead of the restart and will have their work cut out to catch the teams above them to earn a place in Europe after being excluded from this season's Europa League for a financial fair play breach.

So it's understandable that they may not have the pull of years gone by. However, fans are certainly surprised by their transfer ambitions.

Reports suggest Milan have shown an interest in Burnley's Jeff Hendrick.

The Clarets midfielder could be available on a free transfer and Stefano Pioli's side are believed to have made contact prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

While the link is certainly surprising, Arsenal fans were quick to point out the culprit.

Ivan Gazidis joined Milan at the end of 2018 and there is no love lost between Gunners supporters and their former chief executive.
