Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Phillipe Senderos is undergoing a medical at AC Milan, ahead of season-long loan to the Italian giants.

Milan have been linked with the Swiss International over the last week.

And following the arrival of Mikel Silvestre top the Emirates from Manchester United, Wenger feels that it would be benificial for both parties that Senderos moves to the San Siro.

"Senderos has gone to Milan today. He will complete his medical today," said Wenger.

"The thinking is that at the moment he is not getting the games here and goes to a top level club to play.

"We have Djourou, Toure, Senderos, Song, Gallas, Silvestre, so there is congestion at centre back. With losing him we want him to play."

Wenger added that a decision on whether the deal will be made permanant has yet to be made.
