Arsenal Transfer News: Carlos Bacca Targeted Amid Latest Gonzalo Higuain Rumours

Arsenal are understood to be switching their attention to AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca after discovering a move for Napoli superstar and Juventus target Gonzalo Higuain could be out of their reach.

According to Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, the Gunners will set their sights on a bid for Bacca, and manager Arsene Wenger's side are hopeful an offer of €25 million (£20.8 million) will be sufficient to tie up a deal.

Bacca scored 20 goals in 42 games for Milan last season.

However, just how likely it is Arsenal will be able to strike an agreement at that figure is up for debate considering Bacca moved to the San Siro last summer for €30 million.
