Arsenal chase Milan star striker

Arsenal chase Milan star striker

Arsenal are strongly interested in Carlos Bacca, TMW reveal today.

The Rossoneri striker has managed 15 goals this season in all competitions, adding three more assists.

Bacca was close to West Ham last summer, only to decide to stay at the San Siro despite Milan agreeing to a transfer fee with the Londoners.

The Colombian - who was signed from Sevilla in the summer of 2015 - hasn’t really lived up to expectations in Milan.

Coach Vincenzo Montella doesn’t seem him as being germane to the Rossoneri’s system, which requires an attacker who participates more in the buildup.

Though he still has three years left in his contract, various reports in Italy have the former Sevilla man leaving this summer.

Director of sport Massimiliano Mirabelli is looking for a new striker, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alvaro Morata being scouted of late. The Rossoneri have new owners, who have promised major investments.
