According to AS, Arsenal are set to make a €30m move for West Ham target Carlos Bacca this summer.
The AC Milan striker is interesting some of the best teams in Europe at the moment, with Sevilla, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid all said to be keen. However, Everton and West Ham are also throwing their hats into the ring.
West Ham have already been rebuffed by Bacca after an offer of £25.6m was accepted by AC Milan, but West Ham’s contract offer to Bacca worth €4m-per-year has been put to one side and remains on the table as he awaits better offers.
Arsenal have now moved in with their offer in an effort to gazump West Ham to the signing of Bacca, as they look to improve their own forward line. Arsenal fans have been calling out for a big name striker, much like West Ham, and Bacca appears to be their man.
It remains to be seen whether West Ham will continue in their pursuit, but they will certainly face stiff competition if they are to do so.
