Agent: Destro chose AC Milan over Tottenham and Arsenal

Italian agent Claudio Vigorelli admits AC Milan beat Premier League rivals to the signing of Mattia Destro.

The AS Roma striker joined Milan on-loan in the final week of the winter market.

Vigorelli told TMW: "Tottenham and Arsenal in England (tried for him). But Mattia has chosen Milan, he wants to do well with the Rossoneri."

Asked if Destro will sign permanently, Vigorelli replied: "Sure."

The agent admits the gesture of AC Milan GM Adriano Galliani traveling to Destro's home to meet him was a decisive factor.
