Arsenal fight Hammers for Bacca

Arsenal are attempting to intercept West Ham’s €30m negotiations for Milan striker Carlos Bacca.

The 29-year-old Colombia international will be allowed to leave San Siro after just one year, as he doesn’t fit into new Coach Vincenzo Montella’s plans.

West Ham United have agreed the transfer fee with Milan, but have been waiting for several days for the player to agree personal terms.

West Ham United have agreed the transfer fee with Milan, but have been waiting for several days for the player to agree personal terms.

It has been reported Bacca is holding up the move while he waits to see if Atletico Madrid will make a bid.

Now The Sun suggests Arsenal are prepared to make their own approach, providing Champions League football and better personal terms than the Hammers.
